Couldn't Live With All The Brown


This is also a bad photo, but at least it's possible to decipher what's pictured. Less brown. So I'm signing out with this instead. And with a quote of the day and a link. Here goes:

Wilhelm wanted to talk about "You know, eh, that word, you know... You know, what it's called when you put the baby inside the woman? That word?" And when I didn't answer immediately he looked at me incredulously, raised his eyebrows and sighed: "Ooooh, mom, you KNOW you've done it!" I give to you my son, Chandler Bing.

And the link. You see, I could embed this, but my Swedish readers (all two of them) would find me incredibly not-cool, since this is old news. Real old. Like three weeks or summat (that's my Emmerdale impersonation, never mind). But I know for a fact that someone very dear to me has a daughter who's a Robyn fan. And I'm thinking that she has probably not seen this version of Call your girlfriend, performed by three Swedish girls singing in harmony and drumming on (empty) cottage cheese containers. It's pretty fantastic. But you know, a bit old.

Ok, that's all folks. Night.

My goodness Anna, he is obviously ready for what we here in the States call "the talk"... or, you can just wait until he asks again... I remember my mother completely confusing me with her poorly thought out description of what "it" is... Good luck with it!

Summat! Haha! (Being from Manchester I find this hilarious- in a good way)

this made me laugh out loud. oh chandler bing, love it.

No worries, Eliza, we had The Talk years ago (this being Sweden and all). But sometimes he pretends to forget certain aspects of it, so we can go over it again... Last time was on the train home from my parent's. Yay me.

Karen! You made my day! If you've been here before you know that I have the biggest softspot for anything British. Especially words. Summat. It's just brilliant.

Anna, me too. And my soft spot for Chandler Bing is about as big as the aforementioned, so my boy is in good hands.

Hi! Yes, been here before (once left a comment about the use of "Hullo" ...anything to do with words seems to drag a comment out of me!). Was an infrequent visitor but now more regular due to long periods spent at home on maternity leave with my son...glad a rainy English summer hasn't dimmed your enthusiasm for all things Brit!

Karen said...

or dampened your enthusiasm, rather :)

Anna Ander said...

Haha, so true about "dampened". Well, now I know that I have to go linguistic on you for a comment, that piece of information will come in handy when I'm feeling particularly needy (as I tend to do). Watch out!
