Me: We have a new government, I heard it on the radio on the way home.
Him: We who?
Me: We Belgium. And there’s a woman Minister for Foreign Affairs, Karen something or other.
Him: Karel De Gucht?
Me: Yes, that’s it.
Him: He’s a man and he’s the one who was Minister for Foreign Affairs before.
In other news, the Princess and all her little friends wore their pyjamas to school yesterday and got dressed and had breakfast in the classroom. It was the best thing ever.
In your defense, how were you to know that this Karen person was a man. It’s not as if politicians in Belgium flash their naughty bits in public… as they do in Italy.
