As of right now, the tally is $117 short of reaching the goal!
And I'm on my way home today! 12 hour drive.:D
We're so lucky to have a family that wanted us with them for the holidays!

Many languages structure things differently from English. ;P And even though you know the literal word for word translation, putting the words in the proper order is a big part of being fluent, and is also the hard part. To be honest, it sometimes makes it easier to read for me…But no, I’m not weird.
I’m glad it’s not too close to Yoda-speak or I’d be all, “Idiot cousin of YODA, my father he was!” XD He had the same speech patterns as Yoda except Yoda would get better as his Galstandard came back to him. My father was just really bad with languages generally. He had the same general outlook on life but no sense, and… “much anger, this one has.” He superficially wanted what was best for his family, but screamed with rage when he couldn’t make us do things his way. “MUSS NO TRY!!! DO!!!!!” It gets worse from there; he was an extremely stupid man. My mother knew better, but he had everyone thinking she was the crazy one. She was unbalanced to start with, but he made her much worse. On a lighter note, he was never a tall man, and as he got into his 80s he was getting on for the same height as Yoda! And shape! XD I have mixed geelings about Yoda.
Anyway, Ada here seems really nice, starting with his letting them shorten his (her? :)) name. I like that his name’s so different to (most?) human-language names without going the “you can’t pronounce this” route, that’s always annoying.

Quick! Check the security camera recordings!

My bet is either unfortunate accident and too much passage of time, or just “unfortunate accident” and possibly deliberate concealment.

Odds are 3 to1 that humans are somehow part of the accident, I going with the fact we did not make very good slaves for them as evidence.

Drop the “t” at the end of the fourth word in the first word balloon in the second panel.

Talk like Yoda he does.
