The Teenager-in-Waiting was doing geography homework.
T-i-W: Mum, can you test me on the capital cities of different countries?
Me: OK, what's the capital city of France?
T-i-W: Paris.
Me: That's right. What's the capital city of Italy?
T-i-W: That's easy, it's Rome.
Me: OK, what about the Republic of Ireland?
T-i-W: Dublin.
Me: What's the capital of Sweden?
T-i-W: Ikea.

Absolutely fantastic!!! She could have answered Volvo and it would have been acceptable as well! Teenager's wisdom for you! Ciao. Antonella
Very, very funny! Who knows, maybe it should be changed to suit the times! Your T-i-W is very clever!
So are you actually saying, then, that Ikea is NOT the capital of Sweden?
tee hee xx
Antonella, she was genuinely surprised that it wasn't right!
Mervat & Cybill - exactly! It's only a matter of time for sure.
Rosie, well as far as I know it hasn't happened yet but maybe one day!
Lisa - when I laughed at my TiW she got annoyed!
Tell her Ikea can't be the capital of Sweden because it is a suburb of a city near me. I'm sure it is big enough to have its own zip code.
She's cute!

Wait that isn't the capital? Haha might as well be!

YM - not yet anyway!
Milla - hello and thanks for dropping by. I'm off to check out your blog too!
LibertyLondonGirl - whoohoo! Thanks for the link - that's very kind of you.

Wait, are you saying Ikea *isn't* the capital of Sweden????
Lol, too funny, very cute :)
She is so right! Lx
Hey don't knock it... great ya ya's they have there!

Floors me every time... anyone?.... hello??.... must just be me then!
