Roliga stunder från DiBiaso familjens liv

When driving a rental car in Crete it took Karin awhile to figure out how to turn off the radio from the modern touch screen. When she finally succeeded she screamed, "I hate these modern cars and the modern touch screen controls" and then she punched the screen... And turned the radio back on.
But yesterday was at another level. Eric was supposed to take a train home for the weekend but due to a downed powerline every train was getting cancelled.
It seemed 99% sure his train, the last for the day would get cancelled as well.
So we got in the car and started the 3 hour drive to Sundsvall, 6 hours round trip. After driving one hour we got the "great news" that his train was neither cancelled nor delayed. We had made it to Gävle. We just had to turn back and drive another hour home.
When we got home Karin said, "That's a Guiness record for U-Turns."
Efter att ha spelat Marcs påhittad Fia med Bluff pratar Marc om hur han borde försöka att lansera spelet på riktig och tjäna mycket pengar på det.
Karin svarar, "ge dina pengar till andra, som Matteappen, och låt de komma på idéerna."
Towards the end of the third long day in a row on their bikes Marc and Karin saw a sign for a Dairy Farm that sold fresh milk and yogurt. It was a detour of about 1 mile but there was a sign saying they would be open.
As the started to get closer to the farm Marc and his tired legs said, "if they're closed I'm taking a cow home with me."
Say hello to our new family member Joey.
A few years ago Karin was grocery shopping when a angry man came up to her and said "I think you took my cart because that's my kid sitting in it."
Under 5-kamps tävling är det dags för Karin att kasta pil. Hon har nästan Covid avstånd till linjen man kan kasta ifrån.
Då säger Eric, "Mamma, det är norsk övertramp."
We laughed about how Americans couldn't spell Bon Appétit correctly. We've used it frequently over the years, usually to served chips or some other kind of snack when we have guests, or to store leftovers in the fridge, as we did recently with the beef stew I made for my mother in law.
When I took the bowl out for my lunch today I said to Karin, "maybe we've been wrong all these years. Maybe Bone Appetite is just the plural form of Bon Appétit." So I brought up Google translate on my cell phone. And as soon as I could confirm that Bone Appetite is not the plural form of Bon Appétit it hit me. It is not spelled incorrectly. It's not French. And it's not for humans. It's English, It's spelled correctly. It's a dog bowl.
Apologies to all guests who in polite silence avoided eating the potato chips we've served over the years. PS we'll keep serving potato chips to guests in this bowl but in the future we'll quiz them about the spelling.
A few years ago, when visiting the Andersson cabin with an incendiary toilet Karin had some problems.
Eric har skadat handen och behöver något att träna upp handen med.
Karin: "Marc, har du någon av dina stressbollar kvar?"
Marc: "Nej, jag klämde sönder dem."
