Susy Pineseed ROOTS: 1 Shrimp, are you an alien? 2
Mhhhh...that's hard to say. 3 What do ya mean?
4 Sit down, please, it's a long story: they call me
Susy but my real name is Suzanne Philokalia Sophia. My mum was born in Bremen,
Northern Germany. Grandpa Purzelbaum was the organist in the cathedral; grandma
Yli-Ala is finnish, she has a lovely cottage in Ostrobothnia. They still
dance the menuett there, you know? Mum and dad met at the university of Lapland,
where dad was doing research on his Lapland ancestors from the andalusian
branch of his family. Dad is greek, but grandma Alegrias at 80 still dances
flamenco, you should see her! Grandpa Pinolos is half italian; I have some
cousins in Florence. At home we talk German, Finnish, Spanish and Italian.
It's important to know many languages...
5 So, what do you think, am I a foreigner or not? 6
That's hard to say...(headache)
