I just realized something.  Whenever I see a picture of Rebecca with a 
humorously defiant teenage-angst saying on her T-shirt, the text is in 
English.  Does Sweden only allow such subversive texts in English, saving 
its native tongue for more elevated and noble discourse?  Is Rebecca 
stubbornly clinging to her American half in Yankee-Doodle fashion?  Does 
English have a "coolness" cachet in Scandinavia?  Or am I just being 
excessively postmodern, turning night into day and lingonberry pancakes 
into sourdough flapjacks?

Inquiring minds wanna know. . .   :-)    :-)    :-)
