16-52 Eva: the Brit

Eva: Dave, you know how you guys are planning a family vacation to London?

Dave: Yup. Been arranging things for months now.

Eva: Well, you should bring me with you.

Dave: It's a really long flight and I am unsure what their canine quarantine rules are.

Eva: They's never quarantine me - I'm a Brit.

Dave: You do realize that when we call you a Brit that it's not short for British?

Eva: Yup. It's short for Brittany. Which is also a diminutive name of "Little Briton" after so many Britons settled in the region after the fall of the Roman Empire.

Dave: I never knew that much. And I'm pretty sure that border control dude won't know that.

Eva: I know. And I bet I'll have a long conversation with the border force guy to Brit-splain the intricacies of my heritage to him.

Dave: Is Brit-splaining what you do whenever Fred steps on you and you yell back at him.

Eva: Yes.

Dave: And how does that work out for you?

Eva: Not good. But the border force guy is unlikely to be a dullard so I am sure all will go well. All will be good. After-all I'm an expat.

Dave: An expat who was born in Canada.

Eva: I'm not talking about my immigration history. I'm an expert at being petted.

Dave: True that.

Eva: Let's pack some bags! I'm filling mine with crumpets and cookies!

Eva pleading that she should join us on a family vacation to London.

 

The toy double decker has been in my daughter's room for years. It was something from my Great Aunt Oldge's apartment. Kind of nice that it found it's way into this week's photo.
