Yes, that's my son. I don't know what that gesture means, but I'm guessing it's mildly offensive.

Hi Annette. Did you bring your husband with you from Holland? In this country we prefer that individuals from a European extraction have a dual-parent household. I hope I am not being too forward.
G’day

Peepers, the answer is no, I did not bring a husband. Nobody in Holland wanted me because my IQ is only 135, so I found an American exchange student, got him drunk until he passed out, then pretended the next morning we slept together and told him a few months later I was pregnant. Then I made him marry me and get me a green card. Then I made him convert to Judaism.
I found out later that this is not how Americans like Europeans to act, but what are you gonna do?
Shalom,
Annette

Hi Annette!
Sweet regards from Indonesia..!
Annette // April 17, 2008 at 8:25 pm |
Indonesia!!! I grew up in Holland so I’m addicted to Indonesian food. I would kill for some really good Nasi Goreng right now, but I live in Nebraska, so forget it.
Thanks for visiting…

Hi Annette…
Just want to ask your permission.
Since I enjoy reading your posts, can I put your blog’s URL on my blogroll?
And BTW, in case you are craving about Nasi Goreng again, I can give you the recipe. I think you can try it in your kitchen eventhough you’re in Nebraska.

Hi, Just reading through your blog, ran across it because I know (or, rather knew, years ago) your husband, great writing!
Good job converting your hubby to liberalism, by the way! Kudos!

Great blogification!

Regarding the header picture with the one-eyed kid. Is the girl apologizing to dad for misbehaving so badly that he had to gouge out her eye ball? It is a creepy way to seek forgiveness. The message on the bandage I mean.
Annette // July 10, 2008 at 8:03 am |
The story behind the picture…my daughter had to wear eye patches for a while, and we used to write messages on them.
And yes, she had done something, but I forget what.
She still has the eye. For now.

Als ik je foto zo bekijk, je humor geniet, het scherpe intellect en de slimme immigratie, moet ik toch concluderen, dat je in ieder geval wel boven de 100 zit met IQ.
Anne // July 27, 2008 at 11:25 am |
Man, you’re awesome! I’ve never laughed out loud while reading someone’s blog. Most are lame, but I LOVE yours!
