So Swedish

Another couple sat next to us, they were also Swedes. I tried to figure out what dialect they spoke, but couldn’t, later I was told it was Värmländska.
It was very funny to listen to, really awkwardly funny, maybe they’re all retards from Värmland.
As they sat down I mimed ‘Swedes’ across the table to avoid any unexpected inconvenience.
Not sure what, but living in a country when no one understands you creates a lot of spontaneous…talking about them in funny ways.
Of course, everyone else does the same to us, so it’s really not a big deal; we’re all circus freaks in a cage, which side of the bar is just a matter of perception.
They noticed us too, cause the quiet game began.
Four people sitting there smiling, knowing that any words spoken from now on will be noticed and forever ruthlessly judged.
Us Swedes, so cute, it must be only football and beer that makes us confront each other.
