Translators??

An excerpt from Braden's school journal:

My fart sie es eim. (this was accompanied by a picture of a basket ball hoop)
means...

My favorite thing is gym!
Who could have guessed that???

Can anyone translate it correctly??

On another note, I had to go buy another prescription for Jacob today. This is the third I've had to buy in the past 2 months. The others I was so happy to have a coupon that gave me a $25 gift card for CVS when I bought a new prescription. Well, I was sad not to have one of these and was trying to come up with one. I called and asked my sister in law if she had one, no she had tossed it last week in a cleaning spree. I got on line to see if I could print one off somewhere, no way. I broke down and asked at the pharmacy if they had one they could give me and NO they did not. Now, we are not starving or so poor that I couldn't afford the medicine, but it was such a bonus to get a the gift card after paying for the drugs.

So, guess what happened?!?

As I was wandering around in CVS deciding if we needed an Easter stuff at 50% off, I found a $20 bill laying on the ground. I KNOW!! Wow! So, I went and took it to an employee and she told me to keep it. I felt bad, because if it was me that lost it, I would be soooo sad! So, I continued to wander and asked a few people if they had lost it. No one had, so it was mine!! Well, there was my bonus after all. I decided it was a great blessing for me and went ahead and bought an egg dying kit (at half price!) , as we had not dyed eggs yet. We did it tonight for FHE. Free gift cards are great, but free money is even better. (I am still sad for the person who lost it and hope they don't realize that it's gone and it wasn't the last bit of money they had to feed their starving children.)

BTW: I know what he was writing. I will tell you after a few good guesses.

Hi,
I couldn't resist this one; although I am not technically a legitimate participant on your family blog. But translating has always been one of my "callings." I'd say Braden is saying something like "my father sees his aim." And congratulations on the $20. Good things do happen to good people.
love ya!
PS you guys are always welcome on my blog

I've read your post a number of times and keep hoping that I will be inspired with a correct translation, but, alas, I misplaced my urim and thummin while arranging things for the move.

Have you asked him what he was writing?

I just spent an additional 10 minutes trying to figure it out...

Mike

Does he confuse any sounds? F and P?

I thought about putting something like "that's spanish for: the basket is round in a cool winter breaze, but circular when the warm winds blow." But I decided not to.

No guess, isn't it time for the real translation?
