Edvard Munch
Edvard Munch (1863–1944) var ein norsk kunstmålar. (He was a Norwegian painter.)
Det mest kjende måleriet hans er “Skrik.” (His best-known painting is the “Scream.” )
Folks like to steal it:
The Scream has been the target of several high-profile art thefts. In 1994, the version in the National Gallery was stolen. It was recovered several months later. In 2004, The Scream and Madonna were stolen from the Munch Museum, and recovered two years later. -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Scream

A good Norwegian song about julegrøt — my Christmas porridge
| På låven sitter nissen |
| Tekst: Margrethe Munthe Melodi: tysk trad.På låven sitter nissen med sin julegrøt så god og søt, så god og søt. Han nikker, og han smiler, og han er så glad, for julegrøten vil han gjerne ha. Men rundt omkring står alle de små rotter, og de skotter, og de skotter. De vil så gjerne ha litt julegodter, og de danser, danser rundt i ring. Men nissen, se han truer med sin store skje: |
 Hest -- god jul! |
| Men nissefar, han er en liten hissigpropp, og med sin kropp han gjør et hopp. “Jeg henter katten hvis dere ikke holder opp! Når katten kommer, skal det nok bli stopp.” Da løper alle rottene så bange, ja, så bange, ja, så bange, og de svinser, og de svanser noen gange, og i en, to, tre så er de vekk. |

God helg! Have a great weekend, friends.
Thanks my friend Martin for teaching me this phrase!
I bet you have been wondering why you don’t see more nisser on airplanes these days. It is very simple. The seat belts are very heavy. So you have to remember to bring your own. I flew to the Twin Cities for the long weekend to see my relatives there, have some food, and to see if I had a twin. God Helg! (Remember say “goo” helg. Goo is good to say, by the way.) I like Southwest airlines because peanuts are goo.
Very fine airplane
Should I be in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade?
The word for Thanksgiving in Norwegian is “Thanksgiving.” Giving thanks is something like “være takknemlig for” (be thankful for).
I like roombas! It is fun to ride them.
Selvfølgelig of course!
My new friend Amanda is teaching me long words. Her first word is:
selvfølgelig
I am trying to say it like this:
Reading after porridge is cosy, selvfølgelig
sell! full gi lee
I hear the “full” is a bit different, and the “l”s are, too.
Selv means ‘even’ sometimes, but it is also ‘self’ I hear.
følgelig means ‘consequently’ or maybe ‘naturally’.. so I’m thinking, it follows to me, of course, it’s obvious!
selvfølgelig
Knask eller knep
“Knask eller knep” means goodies or treats! Thats how you say “trick ‘r treat.” My cousin Chrissenisse told me.
Spøkelser
