Marie Fredriksson + Per Gessle = Roxette.

these two people are held responsible for why i wanted to travel sweden.
and i dont even know their real names.

today while i was driving the boys to pingis [-mind you they are 10 years old] we run into the father in the driveway.
"GUESS WHO I WORKED OUT NEXT TO TODAY?" asked the swedish father.
i was a bit thrown off with the question, and didnt think it was directed towards me, until he askes, "guess!"

in all of sweden... ? i could only think of, "well, i know your wife!!"..but i didnt use it as a real guess...

then he says "PER GESSLE!"

which at this point in time means nothing to me... so i watch alexanders reaction, "NICE!" He seemed rather excited about it!

as we drove off, i was trying to think of who this person was.... so i asked alexander, "is that your pingis teacher?!" [i really cant stop laughing outloud thinking i asked him this question..]

with a loud sigh and a few, "whats?"
the boys in the car were very disappointed i didnt know who Per Gessle was.

alexander said, "i think everyone in the world knows who he is."

i went back to the house still not knowing until i was told. why did i not know this?

i am so ashamed of myself.
