Skinkan är i ugnen.
Maken på jobbet, men kommer nog hem lite tidigare idag.
Tvååringen sover middag.
Underlaterna kvittrar i julgranen.
Glöggen är het.
Julen är här.
God Jul!

Snöstorm!
Vi hade en häftig snöstorm i går med snöflingor stora som snöbollar och åska!
40 cm snö blev det till slut.
40 cm snö blev det till slut.
Inte bitas!
Tvååringen har gått igenom en bitig fas nyligen. Detta är en verklig konversation, fast översatt då, med sonens farmor.
Farmor: "Du måste bita tillbaka när han bits. Så han lär sig att inte bitas."
Thy: "Fast vi försöker ju lära honom att inte bitas. Inte hur man bits."
Farmor: "Men han kommer aldrig att lära sig att inte bitas om ni inte biter tillbaka!"
Thy: " Det går nog tids nog."
Farmor: "Ja, biter han mig så biter jag tillbaka!"
Thy: "Nej, vi bits inte. Säg bara till mig om du inte kan hantera honom istället."
Farmor: "Jo jag måste bita honom så han förstår!"
Thy: "Ingen biter min bebis!!!"
Farmor (sårat): "Men jag skulle inte bita så hårt! Bara markera lite..."
Thy: Biter sig i tungan.
Farmor: "Bara lite lätt i handen..."
Thy: Biter sig i kinderna.
Farmor: Himlar med ögonen.
Farmor: Suckar.
Thy: "Menar du på fullt allvar att du bet mr Thy och hans syster när de var bebisar?"
Farmor: "Nej det gjorde jag så klart inte. Mina barn bets inte. De var snälla barn."

Utvecklingssamtal
Se honom i ögonen och säg:
Jag kan!
Jag vill!
Räkna med mig!
Jag vill ha de krävande projekten!
Jag vill ha mer ansvar!
Du kan lita på mig!
Jag förtjänar mer betalt!
Kan vi avsluta nu? Jag måste hämta på dagis.
No excuses...

November är äntligen slut!!
Haha! Jag överlevde November! Även detta året. Av någon (väderberoende?) anledning är November en svår månad för mig. Jag tror att någon lyckades vara åtminstone snörvlig i vår familj varenda dag den här månaden. Ja när vi inte var hostiga, hade nackspärr, stukade fötter, astma eller bronkit...
Nu är det äntligen December och advent och snart jul. Regn har ersatts med vit, fluffig snö (30 cm!) och vi har fått upp adventsljusstakar och stjärnor. Glöggen har provats och lussebullarna bakats. Och julsemestern till Kuba är bokad. Aaah...

Språkövning
1) The bandage was wound around the wound.
2) The farm was used to produce produce.
3) The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse.
4) We must polish the Polish furniture.
5) He could lead if he would get the lead out.
6) The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert.
7) Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present.
8) A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum.
9) When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes.
10) I did not object to the object.
11) The insurance was invalid for the invalid.
12) There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row.

18) After a number of injections my jaw got number.
19) Upon seeing the tear in the painting I shed a tear.
20) I had to subject the subject to a series of tests.
21) How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend?
There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England, or frenchfries in France (surprise!). Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads,which aren't sweet, are meat. Quicksand works slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea or is it a pig. And why is it that writers write, but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce, and hammers don't ham?
If it is louse/lice and mouce/mice, why can't you eat your rice one rouce at a time? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth beeth? One goose, two geese. So one moose, 2 meese? Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend. If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it? Is it an odd or an end?
If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? In what language do peoplere cite at a play, and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell?
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are the opposite? You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out, and in which an alarm goes off by going on.
English was invented by people not computers and it reflects thecreativity of the human race, which, of course, is not a race at all. That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible.
