My neighbours, Jean and Eric were going on holiday and told us just so we'd be aware that the house would be empty. They said their son was staying at his girlfriends.
A few days after they left, we started hearing strange noises through the wall so my husband went to investigate.
I was frantic while he was gone and was relieved to see him back. Thinking he'd caught a burglar next door, I said, "Did you deck him?"
My husband replied, "No, it's only Eric's son."
(now say my husband's response fast!)

FYI, all names that ends with -son are old Norse names meaning exactly that. Andersson was Anders son, Svensson was Sven's son, etc. In Iceland they also use -dottir (daughter).
The most famous Norse man is probably Leif Eriksson (son of Erik the Red) who journeyed to America far earlier than Columbus.

Why do they spell ericsson with a "c" instead of an "k" that is the original name. I know this sound stupid but in sweeden they spell eriksson. everybody know that ericsson is a swedish company.

Yes, it was a joke, except of course, I do really have a neighbour called Eric and he does have a son.

It's a shame the wife's not called Sonny...
It would have been 'it's only Sonny and Eric's son'...
Not sure it's a girl's name, though?.. |
