Things that parents always forget to tell their children

I went through some of my old texts today when I found this list. It was put together a couple of years back by some friends of mine; Johanna, Ronja, Johan and Louise. I asked permission to share it with you because I find it perfectly excellent. Why don't you see if you can recognize what they're referring to.

  • Never trust someone talking to you from the sewers. No matter what IT offers.
  • If you ever find yourself lost, never go in to a castle that has a sign that says; enter at own risk.
  • If a bunny tells you that the world is coming to an end, it's time to ask mummy for a psychiatrist.
  • The cake is always a lie, except for birthdays.
  • Please, always poke the cake before you cut. For safety reasons.
  • Good plants are quiet plants. Those are okay to feed.
  • When the scary music begins, don't open the door.
  • If you shower, you shower alone. If someone enters, something is wrong (this also applies to teenagers).
  • If you find yourself in a horror movie, never say "I'll be right back".
  • Remember: The dumb bimbo always dies first. So stay in school!
  • If you for no reason suddenly appear on TV in the middle of the night, the TV repairman is not you friend.
  • Don't watch unknown VHS video's without label.
  • A memo for anyone over 18: if anyone tries to get into your bed, gently pull their hair. If it's stuck to the head, you may proceed. If it comes off; please keep in mind that not any clothes in the world will stop what is about to happen.
  • Never go to the circus alone.
  • If your body mass fills the entire elevator, it's diet time.
  • Never trust a talking puppet. Especially on TV.
  • An apple pie is for eating, and eating only.
  • Never play on a trumpet that doesn't belong to you.
  • Any restaurant that is combined with a barber shop should never be payed a visit.
  • If you ever get the opportunity, do NOT follow the rabbit in the waist coat.
  • A person that glitters in the sun is very unusual. Should also be avoided.
  • Lightning pirates aren't always what they seem to be.
  • If an odd person with blue skin begins to waggle in your direction, hiding is always an excellent idea.
  • Finding good dentists is a great challenge. But stay away from the singing ones. If you're unsure about a dentist you can also scan the waiting room for masochistic patients (they tend to look a bit too eager about having a dentist appointment).
  • No matter what changes in the future, wrighting 42 on every answer on a test will not guarantee you a decent grade.

The last point Johanna actually tried ones. She got a gold star. You have to love that teacher (;

A story to tell.

Min första resa till Thailand var för åtta år sedan, när jag var tolv. Fem år senare åkte vi dit igen, och de båda resorna har etsat sig fast hos mig, men av så väldigt olika anledningar. Idag, så många historier (och ett liv som levts) senare, finner jag mig åter tänka tillbaka till de resorna, och vad det var som kom att få dem så betydelsefulla för mig. Den resan som kom senast beskriver den historia jag levde i just då och den kom, på sätt och vis, att bli en milstolpe i allt det som ledde mig fram till den punkten. Inte så mycket på grund av vad som hände där som vad jag upplevde i mig själv när jag kom att befinna mig utanför och bortanför den plats där min verkliga historia ägde rum. Det var vad det blev. Mitt andrum. Mitt utanförperspektiv och min djupdykning i mitt inre. Den första resan till Thailand var en annan milstolpe i mitt liv, men inte utifrån min historia, utan av de historier jag mötte i andra på vägen. Det blev mitt innanförskap och en överskådning. En inblick i de

The turning of the page.

I haven't been writing here for a while now, because though so much has been happening in my life lately I'm finding it hard to find anything I want to write about. It's not that the things I'm experiencing aren't inspiring and good, but frankly sometimes they're hard to take in, and I'm finding that I'm starting to crave for stories because I'm finding it difficult to write my own. And yet every time I find one that offers me something to hold on to, something else makes it aversing and forces me to turn to the next thing. I know that at some point we all have to end up here, at that time in the story where you have everything but you can't make out what to do with it so you're forced to watch it crumble beneath your hands, to see it through until the next chapter or the next line that enables you to get a firmer grip again. I don't want to read the story ahead to see when things will be starting to turn around, but it's hard to watc

Mirrors and pebbles.

"Love" Noimp said, staring blankly out over the lake. "What do you think that is Luna? All those stories.." He trailed off. Then he took a deep breath and looked at Luna. It had shivered, she thought. His breath had shivered. "That's just it. There´s so many stories. Every where I look, every person I meet have some kind of story to tell. But how much of that is really true, huh? How much of what you hear and see is not just dreams and fables. Stories, made to look real." He drew a hand through his hair and left it hanging from his neck. He shook his head. Like he was trying to shake it all off and said quietly "They're just.. coated in small truths to make the big lie more plausible." Luna sat staring at him. She didn't know what to do. Didn't know what to say. He, who was always so composed. Always so coldly calculating and taking control of every situation. Where did all this come from? "And the bad ones?" She new
