Conversation between Kelli and Mads while we were in Texas:
Mads: Skat, kan vi flytte til Texas?
Honey, can we move to Texas?
Kelli: Du har boet i Skandinavia dit hele liv. Hvorfor ønsker du at bo i Texas?
You have lived in Scandinavia your entire life. Why do you want to live in Texas?
Mads: Fordi Texas har.....

Kelli: Skat, du kan ikke bestemme hvor du bor på disse grunde! Du har brug for en "ægte grund"! Honey, you cannot decide where to live based on these reasons! You need a "real reason"!
Mads: Ligesom??
Like??
Kelli: Jeg flyttede til Danmark på grunden af KÆRLIGHED.... den er en ÆGTE grund!
I moved to Denmark because af LOVE...now that is a REAL reason!
Mads: Men jeg elsker Sonics Happy Hour! Er det godt nok?!

I think those are all great reasons to move to Texas!!
(But I think Mads might change his mind after a summer of 1,000º heat here!!)
His logic is foolproof. You have to move. End of discussion.
*lol*
They are such boys. My husband's only real regret moving from Switzerland to Denmark was having to give up his cars and get one Ford Mondeo (Oh! The HORROR!) instead.
He completely agrees with Mads and the clothes in the U.S. as well. :)
Ok now I want to move to Texas! Cheap cola, dvds, cars- its a paradise! Plenty reason to move in my opinion!!!
Precisely the reasons my man wants to go back to the U.S.
It looks like fun!
Hey, I'd vote for your return to The States. Maybe then Doug and I could actually make a trip to Dallas one day and see you both!
Noooooo... don't go back! Denmark wouldn't be the same without you :)
From that picture you can easily spot that's not a Dane trying to open that bottle. He got his right hand placed all wrong, it should be placed at the bottom of the bottle you use to open the other bottle.
A true Dane can open a beer bottle with everyting at hand, another, a lighter - or even a single piece of paper just fold it 7-8 times and you can open a beer with it.
By the way I cracked up when I went to Sonic just now, thinking about how excited Mads got at the cheap drinks!
Not only do you have friends that think Mads is cool because he can do the bottle-to-bottle-resuscitation-opening move, but we think he's cool because he loves you and so do we!
LOL, that is funny! I also agree with Mads - it is awesome buying clothes in the US compared to DK...but I will bet that he would miss real rye bread, leverpostej, and "Ulvene fra Midtjylland" if you guys moved to Texas ;-)
Now that is really funny! Boys...
I definitely think it's nice that videos are cheaper, just rented my first movie here in copenhagen and it was almost 50 kroner for one, crazy!
but tell Mads that he can get eggmcmuffins in germany :-)
There's not breakfast at McDonald's in Denmark??? Weird, I have to take a look around here sometime. Sverre LOVES buying clothes in the States. Normally I have to drag him into a store just to look for socks, but the minute we get to CA and start nearing the outlet centers he's practically quivering on the edge of the seat in anticipation. And Double Quarter Pounders from McD's...I think he'd live on those if he could. You're right, boys!!!
Ooh. I want to move to Texas too, but can I still have the Danish weather? LOL
We are experiencing all the wonders of a cheap society as well and have made the comment several times, "shouldn't we just move back here and live like kings?" but the truth is, it's too much. You can't possibly appreciate all this stuff if you live here and can get it all the time. With that said, our bags are going to be stuffed coming home and we are having to buy one more suitcase...Trying to make this a yearly trip will certainly satisfy the yearnings for all this cheap STUFF is our final conclusion..but I read this and could totally relate to everything Mads thinks..and I miss Breakfasts at McDonalds also- will make you guys some biscuits, eggs and bacon sandwiches when you guys come ok..;-))
