Derek: Can I give you a ride home?
Me: No, don't ride me!
Kathleen: If the pitcher throws 4 faul balls, the hitter gets to go to 1st base.
Me: What if there's already someone at 1st base, does he just get to go to 2nd base for free?
-Does anybody have a rubber I can borrow?
That one might need a little explanation. A rubber in British English is what they would call an eraser in America. But apparently - a rubber in America is just another word for a condom.
Kathleen (To Derek): Are you gonna go Weed Wacking?
Me: Weed Wacking!? That sounds like you're gonna do drugs!
-I went to the Pet-rally today! (Pit-rally - which it's called because it happens in a pit)
-I'm so wasted! (Meant to say exhausted!)
Jeff: You frigen Danes!
Me: What does frigen means?
Jeff: It's a nicer way of saying ''the f word''
A little later
Jeff: Don't hit the gong!
Jordan: Haha, don't hit the dong!
Me: What's a dong?
Jordan: You don't know that? Do you know what ''wtf'' means?
Me: Yeah! What the frigen!
Me: It's so.....potatoish!
Kathleen: I just love your expressions!
Me: Did you know, that if you're wearing a smokey
Kathleen: A smokey?
Me: A smokey...? No a smoking!
Derek: A smoking?
Me: A smoking! No, is it no called a smoking? A suit, if you're wearing a suit!
Derek: Is it like a tox?
Kathleen: Or is he smoking?
Me: No, you're wearing a suit! ou Should sleep in the tub, cause whatever the tub is made out of, keeps the suit from wrinkling!
Me: Did you ever see that movie Shaws?

On my way out of the door, with te Ipod in my hand and it's raining outside.
Kathleen: ''Don't get electrocuted!''
-I went to church with Kathleen and Derek, cause Kathleen was playing the piano. -A very interesting experience, it's very different from going to church in Denmark- One of the things that they did was that people got up twice. First time to said hello to each other, the second time to say ''peace be with you''.
Me: ''Peace out!''
Talking about lobster.
Kathleen: Where do you get your lobster from?
Me: The ocean!?
Playing with cars with Gavin and Alden.
Alden: Where's the red car?
Gavin: I Put it in my diaper!
Gavin was going to sleep the other day, but he didn't have his monkey, so Dan, Mari and I started looking around the house. In, on and under things, upstairs downstairs, outside, inside, it was nowhere to be found. Until we had been all over the house three times, and Dan found it. Where?
In the microwave!
Fun discussion with Kathleen and Derek!
Me: I'm still trying to get used to the trash-sink, you guys use so much electricity on that.
Derek: Think about how many plastic-bags we safe - Safe a bird every time.
Me: ...I will come up with an argument for that! It might take a while though...maybe a few days? Just wait for it!
Kathleen: Oh, he WILL be waiting! Looking foward to hear what you come up with.
Me: Oh, how about this - We don't eat big American portions, so we don't throw out as much food as you do, so we use just a many plastic-bags as you do, and you guys also use electricity! And what ever food we might have left, we just feed to the dog, it's like a living trash-sink, and we also save plastic-bags that way!
Derek: Okay, would you like me to make you a dog-bag then?
Me: Well, I don't have a dog....
Kathleen: There was a tv-show, and they went to Denmark, and in Denmark they went to this castle, it was called something with slot, do you know it?
Me: Well, slot means castle! So no, not really...?
Gavin and Alden were fighting over a guitar, so I made one out of paper for Alden.
The next day.
Alden: I can't want the other guitar now, I have a guitar that Ida made to me, and Ida makes the best paper-guitars in the hole wide world!
Mari: We're thinking about having a new exchange student next year, I don't really know though, we'll never get another Ida.
Alden: You're the best!
Me: You're the best!
Alden: No, you're the best
Me: No, I think you're the best!
Alden: Noooooooooo, stop saying that! You're the best
About the Christmas decoration (The Jesus' birth one)
Me: Where's Jesus, and what's that furry pig doing there?
Kathleen: Jesus isn't born yet, and that's a sheep!
Derek: Jesus is lying in the bushes, eating berries. It's funny though, what are those people doing, just standing there looking in the crib, it's like, he's right over here guys!
After December 25th, Jesus came out!
Me: Wow that's a big baby! -That must have hurt!
Derek: Well, he's been there for at least a month, just hiding!
Kathleen: Did you notice that the 3 kings are getting closer every day, they won't arrive until January 6th.
Derek: Well, that tiny camel is probably slowing them down? And how slow are they walking, one more step and they would be there! It's like if someone were visiting us, and said ''We'll sleep on the porch guys, and finish our travel tomorrow!"
Dan: You women have a higher tolerance of hot water than men do!
Derek: How was the pool?
Me: There were so many kids, and screaming and balls in my head.
Mari: Middlefart?
On the way to school, wearing a pair of shorts and a hoodie.
Gavin: "You're naked"
Me: Gavin, can I have a goodnight kiss?
Gavin kisses me on the forehead.
Gavin: Good night, Sleep tight!
Alden: Don't let the bunk beds bite. (Bed bugs)
Gavin: Why are you packing?
Me: Because I'm going home soon.
Gavin: But you can stay with me?
Me: Trying to explain what it means that I'm leaving.
Gavin starts crying...
Alden: Where are you going?
Dan: To Mars. Maybe I'll stop at the moon on the way.
Gavin: Uh, I can come?
