Our friend Rebecca Svangren is visiting from Sweden for a short while. This is her above trying on halloween costumes. In the process my children get to hear Swedish on a daily basis. This has lead to some very funny moments with my entire family trying to manuveur with their new conversation skills.
Little boy "O", our youngest, was sitting at the dinner table the other night and heard me ask Rebecca if her soup tasted good. "Smakar det gott ?" Ja, det smakar gott, tack. (yes it tastes good, thanks).
When I turned to ask "O" if his soup tasted good he grinned and said,"Ja, smack the goat".
At this point during our table talk we suddenly had many questions for our guy.
"Do you like the bread ?"
"Smack the goat". was his reply
Do you like the salad ?
"Smack the goat".
Do you like ice cream?
"Smack the goat."
So the next time you really like what you are tasting ......just remember to "smack the goat."
