A quiche is made by mother. This is a food. It is made of eggs, an onion,and bacon.

Many countries celebrate the Father Day,now it is tomorrow june 18.
Many people think Mother day is more important than Father Day,because Mother is more kind than father in most families.when you was child ,your mother fed you and play with you,you may confess your secrets to your mother more often than your father.Mothers are more sensitive to your gratitude than your fathers.

But in most families,fathers are main financial sources,they work hard to earn money to support families.Although they only supply a small sperm when making love,the small sperm is necessary for the born of lives.

When children are growing up,they can learn a lot of things from their fathers,sometimes their fathers don't say many words to them,but their good behaviors have a deep impact on their children.

This Father Day,I will buy a special present to my father and say some nice words to him and express my gratitude to him.

Well, I live in Brazil and here we celebrate Mother's Day on the second sunday of May and the Father's Day on the second sunday of August. Usually, the families get together and everybody buy a gift fot their mother/father.

But, to be honest with you, Mother's Day is much more celebrated than Father's Day. First because, well, as it has been already mentioned above, mothers seem to be more carefull in every single culture; second, because most men don't seem to care for their "offspring" here in Brazil.

May be in the Japanese culture men are more responsible and take more care of their children, but in Brazil, unfortunately, things aren't like this. People in general are too iresponsible. In the poorest neighbourhoods, it's common to see women with five or six children, no money, and no husband to help her out. And even in the middle-class, most families are led by women.

I myself had the chance of having my father and mother by my side, but unfortunately, not everybody here is so lucky.

Dear my E-mail friends

Thank you for your E-mail. I think your idea is right.
In fact, I like mother than father. I celebrate for The mother's day surely.
Let me see... I don't live my family together. But, I can see them 2 weeks later because I have a long long summer vacation!!
I want to talk with them.


What do you do with your family when do you have a free time?
