You are a couple. How did you meet?

DAISY: Pooh! How could you see that I have the cat Ruben with me in my handbag?!!

Well, since you have seen the cat I'll answer your question:

Ruben and I met seven years ago on a trip with the "Lonely Hearts Club". Ruben was stuck in a toilet and I saved him. He immediately fell in love with me and I with him, and since then we have never ever been apart.

And since that day I haven't visited the Lonely Hearts Club. I don't feel I belong anymore..



Be colorful and get happy

What makes you really really happy?

STINA: I like colors. So I dress in colorful fabrics and you get happy when you're colorful.
I expect that people appreciate my colorful look and maybe call me colorful Stina.

But that has NEVER happened.

But this will happen one day and then I will be really really happy.

Street Survey
Who in your family makes the important decisions?

MOTHER MONA:   I've always spoiled my two daughters but when it comes to important decisions I always make them!

LINN:  If I had to wait for the mother to get ready to decide, nothing important would have happened in our lives. So I make all the important decisions!

JESSICA:   I always let mom or my sister think that they are the ones who make decisions, whereas in reality it is me who has influenced them to choose the right decision!




It can take hard work to be lazy

Street Survey
Would you describe yourself as lazy or hardworking?

LIZA:  I was brought up to be a hardworking person. And so I am.

But - that does not work when I'm writing. I have got to have a lazy style to get the writing to flow. And to be that lazy is really a hard work for me.

When I am sucessful my friends call me Lazy-Liza.

What is your most common dream?

ANNA: As a psychiatrist, I am very aware of what different dreams mean and therefore a little scared to reveal myself.

So my answer must of course be: I never dream!

Florence and Fred
Street Survey
You are a couple. How did you meet?

FLORENCE: The moment I saw that guy I decided that he will be mine. I started up a plan where we should meet in the local grocery, a place I know he tends to visit once a day. I will carry a large bag loaded with eggs an as soon as he enters the shop I will crash into him, covering him with the eggs - smearing his suit.

After thousands of apologies i will offer him to come home with me so I can clean up his clothes. I live just a block away.

And from here (my appartment) I will start phase two of my plan, but this whole story will be more of a novell than a short story, so let's stop here and just confirm that it all worked out the way I planned and we married 8 months later.

And here we are. Still married, 40 years later!
