Gunes sent Scarlett some wooden shoes and I got a Holland keychain. She got all sorts of lotions and baby cleaning stuff. A beautiful card with the sweetest message, and a pretty red onsie, and giant bib, silverware and Go Fish cards with these funny little dutch characters on them. She sent Nate and I some chocolate sprinkle things which I will admit Im a bit confused about, the box shows the sprinkles on a piece of bread? You don't seriously eat chocolate with bread do you? She loves the squeeky giraffe and the notes explaining what things were was sweet as it was a in a different language. Well anyway I just wanted to give public praise to Gunes for being so creative and nice. My baby is all cultured and stuff now. We're trying to put together an American package for Jasper but Nate is really no help he wants to send you a six pack of Budweiser and some fireworks :rollseyes

No reason why it wouldn't, except that I was afraid that the customs would rip open the package and investigate it to smithereens. I didn't know what to put on the label, and I completely forgot to mention the cutlery... Do you like the wooden shoes? My friend told me to get the traditional yellow (like the ones on the key chain) or the blank wooden shoes, but I thought the cow-spotted ones were really cute. Jasper has a squeaky toy like that as well, which he loves, only his is a cat instead of a giraffe. It looks more like a demon then a cat though, so we have lovingly named it 'Satan'. I was afraid that I might have to explain the sprinkles. We do, in fact, eat the stuff on bread. Lots of it. Copious amounts, even. I think that every Dutch household has a package of chocolate sprinkles in the cupboard. I have five (!): light chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate flakes, fruity sprinkles and anise sprinkles. The packages I sent you are small: just enough for 1 or 2 slices of bread, but it usually comes in big cartons. 500 grams (1.1 lbs) I think. goes to check Oh, 400 grams (0.9) lbs. When I was young, I could have bread with chocolate sprinkles (or chocolate paste) as long as I first ate a slice of bread with something healthy, like cheese. I still make myself do that. Oh, they are really good in yoghurt as well. The chocolate ones, that is: I'm not sure about the fruity kind. Try it, and if you like it, I could send you more: I don't mind being a chocolate-pusher at all. I refrained from putting black licorice in it, as I've been accused of poisoning by Americans that I gave it to. I loved putting the package together. As for the sixpack of Budweiser... I'll sent Jasper over when he's old enough... According to Martijn Jasper has said his first word (I doubt it, but hey, I won't stomp all over his fantasies), that word being 'tiet' (boob). With that and the beer, I can see that Jasper has a glorious future ahead of him. A very manly man, indeed...

Scarlett seems to enjoy her clogs and her toothbrush, but Nate eyes the chocolate sprinkles suspiciously... chuckles The text on the bib reads "Once upon a time...". I like the little dragons...

(he also appears to have something in his ear) Do you not have licorice in America? All these little differences... you guys don't know what jumpers are, when I call someone a tool, you ask 'of whom?', and my girlfriend now refers to the TV remote as a 'clicker'.

Yes we have black licorice but we certainly don't eat it. Do you all have peanutbutter? Maybe Ill send that, its much better on bread.

Just normal white or wholewheat proudwhitetrashreborn said: funny how it's not that much different in english...but i think we take it to the next level and have dozens of words for it There are lots of words for breasts as well in Dutch: tieten, borsten, prammen, memmen, bos hout voor de deur, meloenen, etc. We may have fewer words then Americans though, since we don't really have to speak in code when we are talking about tits. Velvetland: red licorice is not licorice. Licorice is black. Brown is allowed, but barely. However, whether it is licorice or not, I am sure that those red laces are good. Velvetland said: with all that bread how does everyone stay slim We don't, not really. However, most children I know are told to 'first eat healthy, then eat sweet'. Plus, many have to cycle to school, sometimes quite a long ways. 6 miles is not uncommon. I had to cycle 10 miles.

I had Reese's Pieces ten years ago, and I still shudder when I think back to that experience. We don't have (and I like): - Macaroni and Cheese - Cornbread - Hot Tamales - Root beer - pop tarts - life savers - Hugs & Kisses (the Hershey kind, I mean)
