Yes, I do realise that I normally only post once in every 2 weeks or so, but I just had to post this because I remembered it when I read this awesome womans blog. Hopefully you can bring yourself to read both posts and maybe, just maybe comment on both...
When I was little, probably about 8 or 9, my little sister, Colleen was about 6 or 7 and we were watching The Simpsons.
It was an episode where Abu, the immigrant in the series, was in fear of getting deported as he wasnt an American citizen.
The whole episode revolved around this.
Sometime during this, my adorable little sister starts looking very worried.
The longer the show went on and the closer Abu came to being deported, the more worried she got.
Eventually my dad then asked her what was wrong.
She looked up at him with her big worried eyes and asked:
(This one is a classic)
"Dad, are we American citizens?"
Needless to say we were almost rolling on the floor with laughter. She was so worried that we would also be deported.
Yes, she has yet to live this down.
PS: For those of you who dont know, I live in Africa. Not America. :)

At first I was thinking - umm, ok (??) , but then I remembered where you live and now that's just plain hilarious.
Give your sister a high 5 from me!
Hehe, brilliant post :-). I quite often click through random blogs so I found you through another blog that you'd commented on - possibly Clever Girl Goes Blog - do you read that?
HA! That is awesome.

Hahaha, that is HILARIOUS! :D
BUAHAHA !
That totally made my night . Now I can go to bed in a rather amused mood :)
So you're like , South African? My science teacher is from South Africa. I must be extremely uneducated because when she told us, I thought she was kidding.
south africa?! how funny. the father who adopted my first son is from cape town south africa. his parents still live there. quite intresting :) have you lived in the us before?
New Zealand sounds amazing, too. South Africa sounds even more amazing.
Gah, Canada is so lame. It's not even two words.
I was procrastinating my homework and I was trying to find new reads so I clicked through random blogs' comments. I think it was from "...because I like waffles and blethers" :)
Do you read her blog?
I'm glad I found your blog though . You're awfully funny !
haha.. that is so cute! LOVE IT!
oh! bah. i just read your comment on ericka lee's blog. not cool, chell, not cool! NZ is NOT cooler than SA. full stop! :)
ericka - you're right, South Africa IS more amazing! the sun actually shines here, and we have the coolest accents known to man.
i should really stop reading all of your comments on other people's blogs - i'm not a stalker, really - but which stationery company do you work for, Chellkin? Staedtler? or.. erm... i don't know my stationery companies very well :)
hee hee! me loves this post to pieces, by the way! i'm trying to remember all the funny things from my sister's and my childhood, but the only thing i can remember is that Sindi used to call an escalator an "ellie-skater".
um. that's stinkin' hilarious. oh abu...gotta love 'em.
My kids think they're citizens of "Texas" not America.
I have a vision that they're probably going to grow up to join one of those radical Texas separatists groups that wants Texas to break away from the U.S. and be a soveriegn nation like in the old days. :) There's been a few times recently that the national government had made me wish Texas could break away.
Classic!!! It's so funny how involved and emotional children get in tv programs.
haha very funny for making that one public!!!! cant believe u still remember that and thought of putin it on here! oh well. haha. was a good laugh. thanx. xoxoxo
