@FoxyLustyGrover My vote goes to Alanis Mowrisette.
Because You Oughta Mow, obviously. 😆

Why is it that we feel compelled to buy new underwear when we're going overseas? What are we so afraid of? Dying overseas and being on the first page of the paper with a headline
"Tourist murdered by the Seine. Police is outraged over the holes in her Kmart undies!"

@Larissacomments In CHCH, Sunday!

Yesterday I was walking the garden with my landlady and talking about the fruit trees when I pointed out that the Kiwifruit tree was "having a bit of a Suddenly Seymour moment" and she gave me a full belly laugh and I think I won at life that she understood that reference.

Sometimes my life is easier if I just pretend my coworker is an alien who arrived on Earth and doesn't quite know how to be human yet...because he can get in such a weird mood, it baffles me.

[Marvelous Mrs. M & M @mafemazziotti]

Feels unfair that my life carries on, that I have a regular Monday while my beloved friend, my oldest friend who knew me before I was even born, lost her mum and there's nothing I can do.

[Marvelous Mrs. M & M @mafemazziotti]

No one tells you, when you emigrate to a country far far away, that people will die, your friends will lose parents, and you can't be there for them.
A little snippet of life that feels so incredibly unfair.

One of my favourite kiwi-isms is "Feeling a bit dusty" after a night of heavy drinking. So much nicer than "having a hangover".
On a related subject, also love the customer/ friend who messaged me this morning to ask if he had paid his bill at the pub cause he couldn't remember.

[Marvelous Mrs. M & M @mafemazziotti]

@Becs Chocolate or Jaffa Thins.

[Marvelous Mrs. M & M @mafemazziotti]

It's adorable realising you're the "mum friend" when you wake up to a slurry of random photos and half-drunk texts from your friend who's away in a work "expo".

@Becs I have a tree! But the tree and I are still learning the ways...for the tree is full of fruit that doesn't ripen. Maybe once a week I get one fig.
It's a fussy tree, that one.

@AdamCSharp Also in Brazilian Portuguese: "Fala mais que o homem da cobra" - "Speaks more than the Snake Man", to reference a charmer, charismatic person that tries to snake or con people .

@comicbookgal Definitely. Pork Belly pie and Salmon pie are out of this world! Queue usually moves fast, if you want to go back for a donut!

Does anyone recognise this family? A friend of mine found their go pro. If you know who they are let me know and I can pass on contact info. Please retweet.

@ValSnowNZ He asks these questions in the car, leaving me no room to escape or to bring up visual aids!
Try explaining how babies are made, in the car, in the short drive from school to home, to a 5yo, without visual recourse! hahaha

Today's Edition of Oliver in Cars Asking Questions:
Mum, can people be put down like dogs?

Cue a 30min explanation on Euthanasia, choice, dying with dignity, brain death, family medical history...even referendums.
Oof.
