You know how in America there are certain things that everyone experiences? Government subsidized swish, for example. Or Saved By The Bell, if your parents didn't think it was demeaning to women and forbid you to watch it. Ranch dressing. Surely there are hundreds of uniquely Swedish commonalities as well, but one of the most obvious to me is the Ikea bag. You see, when a baby is born in Sweden, upon leaving the hospital the proper authorities issue the parents a birth certificate and a blue polypropylene satchel, neatly folded down into a package the size of a 70 sheet wirebound college-ruled notebook. It unfolds into a 19 gallon masterpiece with which to carry anything from laundry, yard clippings and trash to your hopes and dreams for your own children's federally funded Ikea bag.
It´s looks soooo good on you! /sarianne
