Lynn(in Holland): 'Hey sis, saw you called. Watcha doin?'
me(in Sweden): 'Hi sweetiedarlin', me in car from C. to M. and the roadmap in my car is gone, I needed you to go online to help me get where I need to be without driving around for three hours with my head in my ass.. sorry butt.. bum? Oh look!!.. a SIGN..
I'm on the right road.. nice.. and what are you doin?'
Lynn(still in Holland): 'I'm painting the stairs. And I have to paint them again 'cause I want them white.. you know WHITE white but you can still see the brown through the white, I'll have to paint them nineteen times'
me (still in car eyebrows high): 'I thought you were already done painting the stairs??'
Lynn (in Holland waving arms pointing at stairs): 'Noo NOT those ones the OTHER ones, the ones I fell down from 'cause we stripped the carpet off and mah feet don't work in the morning'
me (in car grinning): 'oooh THOSE stairs, mm I get it.. may be you should get some antiglide strips or put something in the last layer of varnish that makes it saferohno wait, that doesn' work, remember when T and I lived in that old house in the countryside and we had white painted stairs?? Beautiful!!
And then T called when I was in the shower and the phone was downstairs and me on wet feet hurrying down.. trust me, it DOESN'T work and I KNOW how much it hurts..'
Lynn (in Holland grinning more): 'Yeah I knoooow... but I've been really smart and painted every other stairstep and put one sock on the ones you could step on and then the cat didn't get it.. and neither did Erik...'
me (laughing so hard that my head hits the steeringwheel and the car is zigzagging off the road):
'hahaa.. ooooh pooooor kitty.. white paws.. that's sooo cute.. paws AND sockprints.. can it GET any better??.. '
(and I can laugh cause I KNOW it would SOO happen to me too..)
