Erm... will the real swedeheart please stand up... oi, I'm swedeheart, why are you speaking as if you were me, cherrychapstick?? (But you got it about right - I would have said something similar...!)
Astrid Lindgren has written some brilliant books. She's Pippi Longstocking's "mother" but also the mother of Emil, Madicken (Maggie in the UK: You're Out of Your Mind, Maggie) and many others. Many readers consider Mio, My Son to be her finest work
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mio,_My_Son I don't think your grandchildren would be disappointed with her books, kia cat.
cherrychapstick, I think I can see now what happened - you thought kia cat was answering you, when in fact you were both x-posting...? And then you thought she said 'sweetheart', not 'swedeheart'? Still doesn't explain what hard work you thought she was thanking you for though, ha ha... but that's okay, I'm more confused than anyone so I can sympathize. Hope your daughter's limerick declamation went well the other day :)
