Queen of Rambles

I could fall asleep right now. In fact, if you aren’t reading this entry then it never got posted because I am asleep. Only you wouldn’t know that because you wouldn’t be reading it. Whoa. Deep thoughts.

We had a busy day today with preschool, a trip to the ghetto mall for a haircut and then to the gym for Erik’s class. They gave out t-shirts today which made me laugh. They had one XS for Erik, but it probably won’t fit him for another couple of years. He loves it anyway, silly boy.

I actually took pictures of him today. Shocker! Since moving I haven’t been motivated with the camera. I don’t know what my problem is, but I need to remedy it. I was going to post some pics tonight, but now it is 9:30 and I’m tired and ready for bed.

As we were driving down the road, Erik started complaining about holes. I finally figured out he didn’t like potholes, so I told him the name. He spent the rest of the trip yelling “I hate buttholes! Don’t run over the buttholes!” even though I tried to explain that they were POTholes, not buttholes.

Speaking of inappropriate things, Erik has this Swedish book that bothers the hell out of me. Tonight he found it and insisted I read it to him. It was actually the first time I’d read it all the way through because I can’t stand to open it and see illustrations of naked hicks.

I know that we Americans are prudes. I know Europeans have a very open attitude towards nudity. I even like that more open attitude. In fact, the message of the book was just fine. It was basically a list of places were you can be naked and where you can’t be naked. Example, newborns are naked. You are naked when you bathe. You don’t want to be naked in middle of the city or at a costume party. Except, it suggested that it is fun to be naked in the rain because then you won’t get your clothes wet. Oooookkkkk. . .

You want to see what I’m talking about, don’t you?

I’m trying to be subtle here and not go for the full nudity. The text reads “If you want to be naked and clothed at the same time, wear see through clothing.” But look at those people! They are missing most of their teeth!

I found this page to be the most disturbing because it really doesn’t relate to anything else. It says something like “Have you seen these fruits? Pear-butt. Banana penis and plum balls. Peach-breast.” I have a serious problem with the pear butt! It just is so wrong on so many levels. And look at the leering banana penis guy?

That’s all I’ve got tonight. Hope you had a laugh. Try reading that to a three year old with a straight face. Not easy! Especially since I was having a hard time translating it all into English. I usually try to read Swedish books in Swedish, but this one was beyond my abilities.
