Oh the Swedish People.....

Yes, I purposely titled that to get 2 people who I don't know how the heck got ahold of this blog's attention! For those of you who don't know, the team I'm on is majority Swedish.
I will withhold the stories for now but will say this. Today Caleb learned his first Swedish word. I was wondering when he would start picking up some Swedish.
So far all he's learned are phrases including things about Sweden. For instance, my GOOD friend taught him "Mommy, I want to go to Sweden." I taught Caleb to say back "The heathens live in Sweden." Unfortunately my phrase didn't stick, only the other. Thankfully this friend is gone now and Caleb has STOPPED saying "Mommy, I want to go to Sweden."

Today though Caleb began saying the Swedish word, "Snälla", which means "Please."

My Swedish phrases are little more advanced than Caleb's. They include:
I like Swedish cheese.
Swedish meatballs cook in warm water.
I need a man.
I need a mug.
Do you want a wedgie?

Plus I know a few Swedish worship songs.

Kind of a random collection, but it works. Kind of funny to blurt out the random sentences when you walk into a Swedish conversation!

I think I'll let Caleb stick with "Please" for the time being : )

I think you should teach Caleb "Do you want a wedgie?" Just my opinion
