Emily gets ready for the big move to Qater....
When I heard that Chris & Emily Wolf and the kids were moving to Qatar, like most English-mangling people, I was calling that country “Ka TAR.”
The other day, Emily (who, like Chris, is a teacher too, besides being a dynamite mom) told me it’s actually pronounced as kind of a cross between “cutter” and “gutter,” and rhymes with “butter.” So now I know, and the Qataris I meet will think I’m kinda with it.
So, excuse me now – I gotta go change the strings on my Qater.
