Everyone once and awhile there will be a moment when you just miss the culture, when you have some fun witty comment to say that due to cultural differences DOES NOT translate well. That happened to me last night. I was at a dinner party with friends and a comment was made about paint drying and other theoretical questions that don’t really have answers. And my first thought was…kind of like the age old question of how many licks does it take to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop. And then I said thought, thought…outloud…and there were crickets and odd looks. LOL! They don’t have tootsie rolls here let alone tootsie pops. Instead the group said it sounded like a dirty word. ha! So there you go. Sometimes its the little things that make all the difference. To my Australian friends…see the commercial below 🙂 Now…how do I get tootsie pops over here so that everyone can enjoy the wonder of a childhood favorite candy. 😉
