Upon having checked in the hotel my husband immediately hung the ‘Do not disturb’ sign on the door.
After 2 days he indicated at the reception that we will take this with us, just in case it also works at home.
Do not disturb

Selective attention
To our 15-yr-old daughter at the family vacation:
‘Look, Noëmi, how beautiful the sunset is above the sea!!’
She: ‘What sea?’
Almost vacation
Our son (10) comes home today, giving me an envelope from school. I ask him to open it, he starts to read it out:
‘Oh, it’s about vacation!!’
(Note: vacation in Dutch – ‘vakantie’)
He (surprised): ‘..Only they spelt it with double ‘c’ instead of a ‘k’..’
Me: ‘Hmm, could you show me for a second? …. Ah, I see… it is not a spelling mistake: the 1st ‘c’ in this word you pronounce as a ‘k’ in most languages..’
He: ‘Oh nooooooooooo!!!!’
