I never figured out where this tradition came from. It's a mysterious thing. If I ever have an outhouse, though, I'm putting a picture of the king of Sweden up inside.
Sweden 2
A lot of people in Sweden have a little shack in the woods somewhere, often by a lake, a "sommarstuga," or summer cabin. These cabins are primitive, and they generally have an outhouse. In that outhouse one very often finds a picture of the king or queen of Sweden- often both. It's usually a postcard size portrait, placed right where you can see it when you are sitting on the throne. Other outhouses- like at roadside pit stops and such- also often have the picture of the king and queen as well.

I fear a face that serious might stop me from doing the do.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Glory, he looks like he's thinking, "Knock that off right now! Pull up your pants!"
ReplyDeleteDo you think this is meant as a compliment to the regent, or an insult?
ReplyDeleteGina, that is what I could never figure out! Questions of that nature were simply ignored or (purposefully?) misunderstood by the natives.
