Caveat: 보글보글 소리내

bo-geul-bo-geul so-ri-nae = “it makes a boggle-boggle sound”.  That’s how Hana described the noise she was making, when she said she was imitating a fish.
The kids found my constant repetition of the lovely Korean description of this idea endlessly entertaining. I’ve never seen them laughing so hard. So I milked it:  “보글보글 소리내.  보글보글 소리내,” I repeated.
An unrelated observation. The Obamas, up until a few years ago, shopped at the same Hyde Park food co-op what I used to shop at sometimes, during that time when I lived in Hyde Park. That’s weird. And… actually, I wonder if Obama will be the first president who has ever, in his life, shopped at a food co-op? I bet he is.
