But this was different

I hope she'll never say to you:

"I'm only with you because of your parents."

Toivottavasti hän ei koskaan sano sinulle:

"Olen kanssasi vain vanhempiesi takia."

Subdued and chastened

Ben Hood: "Paul, I was thinking, this may be as good as time as any to have a little talk. About, uh.Well, about a..well the hole gamut. Uh. Facts of life. 'Cos I tell you this, there are things happening that you are probably old enough to digest."

Paul Hood: "Things."

Ben Hood: "Things that happen between a... Uh..Well, uh. On the self-abuse front. And this is important. I don't think it's advisable to do it in the shower. Wastes water and electricity and because we all expect you to be doing it in there anycase. And not on the linen. Uh. Anyway, if your worried about anything at all, uh, feel free to ask, and we'll look it up."

Paul Hood: "Dad, you know I'm sixteen."

Ben Hood: "All to more reason to having this little heart to heart."

What a beastly idea

A woman to another, giving advice with an educational tone:

"And remember, that you should not lick the shampoo from the eye with your tongue."

"Why not?"

"Because of those bacterias you have in your mouth"

Nainen opettavaisella äänellä toiselle, antaa lapsenhoito-ohjeita:

"Ja sitten muista, että silmään mennyttä shampoota ei saa nuolaista kielellä pois"

"Miksei?"

"No kun suussa on niitä bakteereja"

While your at it, take a look

What kind of parents call their daughter "a spinster" to their daughters ex-in-laws, may I ask?

Millaiset vanhemmat kutsuvat tytärtään "vanhaksipiiaksi" tyttärensä ex-appivanhemmille, kysynpä vaan?

Then that's settled

We visited Benjam's Bistro in Töölö with Bean's parents. Place was filled to it's capacity (reservation highly recommended!) and it's Italian speaking staff chatting cheerfully, so it was easy to remember why we like the place: the food and the atmosphere are straightforwardly good.

Pictured above Agnolotti Alla Panna (porcini & parmesan filled pasta in cream sauce) and their delectable tiramisu, that even Crumpet is compelled to order every time (even though she does not like sweet desserts, as you know already:))

Kävimme B:n vanhempien kanssa Benjam's Bistrossa Töölössä. Viimeistä paikkaa myöten täydessä ravintolassa (pöytävaraus kannattaa ehdottomasti tehdä!), italiankielisen henkilökunnan pulputtaessa iloisesti, ei ollut vaikea muistaa, miksi pidämme paikasta: ruoka ja tunnelma on mutkattoman hyvää.

Kuvissa Agnolotti Alla Panna (herkkutatti- & parmesaanitäytteistä pastaa kermakastikkeella) ja suussa sulava tiramisu, jonka myös Crumpet tilaa aina (vaikkei makeista jälkiruuista yleensä pidä, kuten hyvin tiedätte :))
