Astrid & Her Amazing "Astrid masters the sword"- Adventure
So Astrid went to a castle and paid for a tour. However, the tour would be held in Czech. Unfortunately, Astrid’s Czech was still a work in progress, but they agreed on handing her an English booklet. The booklet was called “Little Red Riding Hood.” So there was tiny Astrid with a red cape surrounding her in the big castle, following a fellow who she could not understand at all. Luckily, she had a secret weapon ...
... two knights and a real silver sword? No!!! Her booklet of course.
The booklet was not really a booklet which went by the name of “Little Red Riding Hood,” but it could have been. Coz even though the booklet was written in the finest English that exists, Astrid could not make any sense out of it. Clearly, she was in the library, but somehow her booklet said she was in the gentleman's bedroom. The story goes that Astrid at the end of the tour was told that she had received the wrong booklet.
Oh, Astrid was off again, wondering through the streets, bumping into signs like this:
What could the sign possibly mean? Watch out for big boys approaching little girls?

I think the boy in the sign is actually bending over backwards cause the cute little girl is going to open up a can of whoopass all over him and karate kick him across the street.
Then again it might just mean, "slow down, there are children around here."
Nawwww! It's definitely a cute little girl about to karate kick a boy across the street.

I think the sign means "Watch out for large bullies who like to step on people's toes!"

I think it means 'Astrid beware of your Chinese stalker who has mutated into a giant.'

Lesley, I think you have hit the nail on the head!! lol
I found a sign Australia once that no-one could figure out, we named it the "Just Don't" sign. Whenever we walked past the "Just Don't" sign and were thinking about doing something bad, dutifuly obeyed and carried on as usual.

Ok. This is the deal. This one time, a ship had sailed to a faraway jungle island and brought back a rare form of cat that was crossed with a gorilla in a violent mountain slide like, 300000 years ago. This rare form of banana-eating cat leaves the discarded husks around the area where the cat does aerobics. As one can plainly see, the baby has foolishly approached the exercising cat and, well... accidents happen.
The other part of the story is the disgruntled painter. She was pissed off at her boss for hitting on her brother in front of her abusive father cos, well, accidents happen.
Accidents like forgetting to put the peels on the sign.
Patrick's tired again. Time to wash him. Time to wash his blog in case Astrid visits :D

The Netherlands must be so secure with Astrid's sword-fighting skills.

Hey, I'm glad your eye is looking better! I think that sign was designed by the same people who write error messages for Microsoft. Very cryptic.
