Understanding Minnesotan...

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with WHISPERING PINES REALTY 20398180

I keep hearing people say they don't understand us. WE don't talk any different, but I know when I hear the rest of the country talking I don't understand them.

So, here is a better understanding of us...

THE MEANING OF..."Uff Da!"

 

Trying to dance the Polka to Rock and Roll.

Looking in the mirror and seeing that you are not getting better ...just older!

Mailing your bills and finding out the checks are still in your check book.

Having Swedish Meatballs at a Lutefisk supper.

Spending 2 hours cleaning up my room only to have mom come in and say...UFF DA!

Driving to the mall and then wondering what you needed.

Arriving late to the Lutefisk supper and being served minced ham instead.

Checking your "Retirement" account.

Eating hot soup when you have a runny nose.

That is a start.  I don't want to flood your brains and will throw a few more at a later date.

Hey Williams, I get the same thing that people do not understand me either.

Uff Da!, way too many of those sound very familiar, my home town just a few miles from Mn was a very Scandinavian place

Heh, I have done a few of those. I don't check my 'retirement' account any more, because I will never retire based on it.

This is funny.  We have to laugh at ourselves...it keeps us humble.

Forgetting why you went to the mall reminded me of when I was walking on the stairs to retrieve something. About half way down, I forgot what I was going for, and decided to sit down and try to remember. A minute later, I realized that I couldn't remember if I was going upstairs or down!

Bill, I guess I'm part Minnesotan, because I actually did mail a bill once only to find it safe and secure in my checkbook....UFF DA! 

I'm a little disappointed that "UFF DA" didn't pass the spell check....
