Dagen i dag bød på tapetsering. Og drøftelser om farvevalg til det rum, vi var ved at tapetsere.
Mig: "hvad med sådan en helt lyseblå farve?"
Far (på virkelig jysk): "nej! Det er sår'n en rigtig haremsfarve!!"
Mig: "ehm...hvornår har du nogensinde sat dine ben i et harem?"
Far: "ja, der var da dengang i Yemen. Og si'jenhen..."
Okkeja, far. Som aldrig (udtales [åller] på jysk) har været i Mellemøsten. Eller noget, der bare kan minde om et harem. Men altså har helt, helt klare harems-associationer til farven lyseblå. En ydpræget haremsfarve, if ever there was one.
Senere:
Mig: "nåmn, hvad så med lysegul? Hvad minder det dig om?"
Far: "påskeæg"
Lur mig om ikke den væg ender med at blive "modehvid".
We were wallpapering a room today. And discussing what colour to paint it. I suggested pale blue, but my dad veto'ed it. Apparently, that colour is just waaay too harem-like. "But dad, when have you ever set foot in a harem?" "Well, there was that time in Yemen. And others since then..." Ummm, yup. Right dad. Who, for the record, has never been to that neck of the woods (that was Chandler, remember?) But pale blue just screams "harem" to him. So I asked what he thought of pale yellow, what did that remind him of?

Well, if pale blue makes him think "harem" you should paint the walls deep red and gold...that will give him a better idea of what screams "harem". ;) Although I prefer to refer my deep red and golden living room accents as Morrocan as opposed to "harem"...
I also used to think deep red and gold were a popular colour scheme in harems - based, among other things, on a castle I visited in Istanbul where GOLD (not the colour...) featured quite heavily in the harem's quarters.
But no. Apparently we're both wrong. And parents of baby boys around the world have no idea what they've just done to their child's bedroom (and consequently, his mental health/future school grades/you name it)...mwahahaHA!!! :-)
Yeah, det er perfekt!
kan du ikke lige spørge din far om de sidste haremsdetaljer. Vi er nemlig ved at male væggene på toilettet lyseblå og lægger et super sexet laminatklikgulv - i lysegråt skifferlook. Men vi har allerede den frække hvide wc-skål og håndvask.

PS. vi springe bidet over- uanset hvad din far siger. Så godt kender vi altså ikke hinanden
