Apparently I have a tattoo on my head that tells random people to start conversations with me. However, this tattoo only appears when I least want it to. Like yesterday......
I took The Minis to a nearby playground after lunch.....Spring has come to the tundra and it is glorious! There is still a little snow, but the sun is making more of an appearance, it is warm, and the ground is finally beginning to dry out. So, we are having a fab time....we have the playground to ourselves which is even better. Then here comes a teenage girl and her little sister. And the teenage girl wants to talk. Me? Not so much. Here's the Reader's Digest version of our convo:
Her: You Speak English?
Me: Um, yes.
Her: And your daughter speaks English?
Me: Um, yes.
Her: Wow. When I looked at you, I didn't think you looked like someone who spoke Swedish. Your baby is so cute.
Me: Thanks.
Her: Blah, blah, blah, blah.......so your daughter speaks English? Your baby is so cute. And you speak English? Blah, blah, blah, blahhhhhh........
This went on for about 15 minutes before I finally told her we had to leave. I think I know more about her than she know about herself after that convo. She asked me about my age, where we live, where we were from, how old The Minis are, when their birthdays are, you name it she asked it. I tried to answer her in as few words as necessary. Now, I am pretty social, but I am not going to divulge tons of info to someone I just met at the playground. I think she eventually got the message because then she told me everything about herself.....and that was when I decided the Q&A session was over and we had to call it a day. Call me a buzzkill, but whatever.......
On another note, I found out recently that today is Waffle Day here in Sverige. A whole day devoted to waffles, could it get any better??? baby girl and I had to go to Maxi after we dropped The Belle off at Dagis to get our waffle iron and accessories. And we are having an old fashioned waffle party with the BIL and SIL tonight. Yet another thing about Sweden that definitely does not suck. Any holiday devoted to golden brown deliciousness is ok with me.....how about you?
