Things that still crack me up even though my kids only thought they were funny once: In the car, going somewhere, the kids are haranguing me for something using the time-honored phrase, “please please mama please” only they’re doing it in Swedish, which is “snälla, snälla, snälla* mamma” at which point I stop them dead and say, Did you just call me a snail?! Singing Pop Goes the Weasel really loud as the kids are finishing dinner, and just as I get frozen desserts on sticks out of the freezer, I end the chorus with POPSICLE WEASEL! Karin tells me...

Stuck in a database course with two other people. I type about a million times faster than they do. Which means, I’m sitting waiting while they finish the assignments that took me a quarter of the time. Plus the teacher has a habit of standing behind the 3 of us while we work (or rather while the other 2 students work) which means I can’t play on the internet as I would normally in a situation like this. sigh.
