Language is culture. And funny sometimes.
Notes from a language lover, suburban would-be cultural theorist, international relations Masters student, and strident (but often failed) anti-mummy-blogger.
The Blondie and Brownie pages are snippets of conversation from my boys, aged 10 and 7, which I thought were pretty funny, cute and/or insightful - you know, culture at work and all that. This is the failed bit (see above).
Bumper Edition satisfies a quasi obsession with the cultural messages of vehicle licence plates, bumper stickers and window decals. Fortunately, where I live seems to be a hotspot for these items. Or perhaps unfortunately.
The views here are my own, just mine, no-one else's, unless otherwise acknowledged.

Fun with sugar
Well if that isn’t a blog post title reeking of Donna Hay, nothing is. Consider this my nod to food porn, flaccid though it may be. On Tuesday afternoon the planets aligned for me and Brownie to finally put together … Continue reading
The Lexicons of Blondie and Brownie
Being the only mother in the world to think her children are incredibly talented, insightful and amusing, I feel it’s my public duty to share some of their stuff, thereby ruining my determination to not be a mummy blog. Just temporarily, mind you, and only … Continue reading
