Fugle og garn / Birds and yarn

Når man nu har fugle, og rejser. Så skal der jo være nogen, der giver kræene mad, ikke? Mine faste fuglepassere er jo dem, jeg besøger i USA, så andre har måttet træde til, og min søde nabo har allerede fået fuglene til at overleve nogle gange.
Og så kan man vel ikke undgå nogle bemærkninger. Vel?
F.eks. "Du har jo så meget garn, at du kunne strikke til hele opgangen!"
Hvad gør man så, andet end at nikke og smile og tænke "hold da op, hvis hun vidste, hvor meget jeg har i skabet og i kælderen....."

When you have birds, and go travelling, you need someone to feed the poor creatures. Right? Well, my regular "zoo-keepers" are the ones I'm visiting in USA, so someone else had to do it, and my very nice neighbor has already been looking after the birds a few times.
Then, letting others into your home, you can't really help but get a few remarks. Can you?
Like - "You have so much yarn, you could make something for everyone living at our place!"
So, what can you really do, apart from nodding and smiling and thinking "Wow - I'm glad she doesn't know how much yarn I have in the closet and the basement....."
