     Tauno käski mun keskustella siskonsa Ansan kanssa, sillä Ansa oli ravintolapäällikkö, joka hoiti käytännön työnjohdon. Tauno näki huvittuneen ilmeeni ja selitti kyllästyneellä äänellä, että heidän vanhempansa olivat Suomi-filmifriikkejä. Ja koska he kävivät samaa persläpikoulua, toiset lapset yrittivät pussauskoppihoilotuksissaan naittaa heidät yhteen.

     Tauno told me to talk with his sister Ansa, since she worked as a restaurant manager that handled the day-to-day management of the work itself. Tauno saw my amused expression and explained tiredly that their parents were obsessed with Finnish films. And since the two went to the same school, the other kids tried in their "sitting in a tree" songs to make them a couple.
