I can't remember the last time I met anyone as charming as the Two Birds, Megan & Nora. They are so nice I want to become their fourth sister. (They already have three.)
We ate dinner together tonight and the conversation never stopped. They said such interesting things. Megan & Nora have smart perspectives and express them in entertaining ways. They're the kind of people you really want as friends. (My fingers are crossed!)
They informed me that beneath its polite exterior, "Minnesota nice" behavior sometimes masks passive aggression. Wikipedia said the same thing but I didn't believe it until Megan & Nora explained it to me.
I promised Nora I wouldn't mention how bad she is with chopsticks. So I won't say it. If you learn that, you didn't hear it from me. :-)
Oh, and did I mention they gave me a scarf? A very pretty one. You'll see it soon.
I'm trying to lure these exotic birds to New York with offers of motorcycle rides, theater tickets and fancy birdseed. I hope the invitation works. The rest of you are equally invited to visit The Capitol Of The World and hang out with me. One never has too many friends.
Awwww, so envious you got to meet them!!! X
ReplyDeleteHAHA! I'm so glad you called Nora out. Perhaps I will put some cheater chop sticks in her stocking this year! It was such a great night, and we definitely count you as a friend...although oddly, we did before we even met you! We will definitely be making a trip your way...both the motorcycle ride and another night of good conversation sound fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like such a great evening! I hadn't heard that about folks from Minnesota before. How interesting that it's such a wide spread behavior characteristic as to have a term coined for it.

You're right, Suzanne. It's all a big ruse. By the way, what's your credit card number?! :-)
