Excerpt from "The Bogeyman" Denmark, 1995.
Granny: You'd better beware or the bogeyman will get you.
Ida: There's no such thing.
Granny: I bet your pardon? The bogeyman is everywhere. He sees and hears everything. You can't hide anything from him. He lives in the chimney.
Ida: He can't see anything in there.
Granny: He sees everything that goes on.
Granny: All the way from down in the cellar to the very top of the chimney.
Granny: He eats naughty children.
Ida: But it was Chubby [her brother who unwrapped the presents]

I had another story, but I can't remember. How about the time I fell asleep watching a movie at work - I was actually working - and got caught but didn't get in trouble because it was a bad movie! Woo. Internet connecting is not constant so we'll see what I can do about posting.
French skills - improving. I can now be funny in French...which is more than I can say for English.

ReplyDeleteQuebec just became smoke free, it was the last province. Ontario has been smoke free for a while, no?
