Twin boys have a ta ta ta conversation -

http://shine.yahoo.com/event/momentsofmotherhood/twin-baby-boys-have-a-conversation-2469953/

My translation:

Why the hell did you establish a no fly zone in Libya and then transfer control to NATO,

I told you NATO would do nothing.

I don't know, ask NATO.

Why are you conducting a war by channel TV?

I don't know ask NATO.

Why is China not helping finance the air strikes?

I don't know ask China.

Eat my foot.

Informal translation by Kyi May Kaung who grew up in Burma speaking ta ta ta language.
