The young Swedish au pair

The young Swedish au pair had been working for the couple for over a year. While pleasant and hardworking, the girl still struggled with the English language.

One day she informed the Lady of the House, that her boyfriend in the Army was coming for a visit.

“That’s wonderful. How long is his furlough?” asked the lady.

“Oh… about the same as your husband’s, but a little bit thicker,” the au pair replied.
