We've spent the weekend celebrating the Husbands birthday. He is probably the only one in the whole world who can forget his birthday and be sincerely surprised when he is woken up with song, gifts and cake, according to the Swedish tradition. Oh, well.
And I realized that to my bilingual kids, the birthday song isn't automatically "Ja må han leva" (the Swedish birthday song) but could just as well and natural be "Happy birthday to you"...
A little birthday song clip from Seasme Street - a frequently watched TV show in his house....
