Daleko

“Doctor Who is helping you learn Croatian,” Mary pointed out the other day.

I had given Mary this cup in her Easter basket.

Because she likes Doctor Who.

The other day, as I was trying to jam more Croatian words into my head, I threw up my hands, and said, “How am I ever going to remember that daleko means far?!”

Then I saw Mary’s Dalek cup.

I want the Daleks far from me.

Dalek — daleko. I’ll remember it now, even if only temporarily.

(Yes, I know it’s a Star Wars something)
