Pulakli Chanday, elip Sun ixt munk

[Nadja Adolf]

Pulakli Chanday, drEt elip moosum, nayka munk din-din la caset kapa nayka
man, Michael. Nesayka hyas tikki nesayka, pi nayka tikki munk kwolan yaka
wawa.

(On Sunday, right before sleeping, I called my husband, Michael. We really
missed each other and I wanted to hear his voice.)

DrEt kimtah munk din-din la caset, nayka moosum. Kwass nayka moosum kapa
kimtah sitkum san kewha halo din din gedap.

(I fell asleep right after the call. I was afraid I would sleep past noon
because there was no alarm clock.)

Lush moosum pi nayka gedap hyas elip sitkum sun.

(It was a good sleep, and I got up a lot before noon.)

Nayka klatawa Medford. Kunsih chaku Medford, nayka munk kahkwa drEt Spanol
Lushman pi hiyu mahkook.

(I headed for Medford. When at Medford, I would act like a real California
woman and shop a lot.)
