Help[Opinions] ot: "Holland"
in reply to a message by Mar
haha! Oh boy, yeah, my family uses Holland instead of The Netherlands. For years I told people my grandparents were "from Holland". We're classic ignorant new worlders. I kinda wish I knew more about where that side of the family comes from. I don't even know where in the Netherlands they were from, all I know is their last name.
Hey maybe I should use Tulip instead, because that's what the Dutch are all about, right?? ;) Tulip and her brother Vincent Rembrandt.

And a cat called Plimplampletteren (skimming stones)! I love that word. In Swedish we call it "kasta smörgås" (throw sandwiches), don't ask me why!

Vla for a yellow dog, right?
Do you know the children's poem by Ogden Nash about a little girl (Belinda) who has a pet dog, a pet cat, a pet mouse - all of them feisty and heroic - and a pet dragon named Custard because he's a coward? It's brilliant. And of course Custard the dragon eats a pirate in the end and becomes a hero himself.
