OCD much?

[miekec]

When explaining to Karin why a BLT is called that, she said "But then the lettuce has to be after the bacon, and then the tomato!", referring to the current layering of her sandwich being bacon-tomato-lettuce. And yes, I explained that it only refers to the things that are in there, not the sequence in which they have to be applied :)

Translation/vertaling:
Obsessief, misschien?
Toen ik aan Karin had uitgelegd waarom een BLT (een sandwich met gebakken spek, sla en tomaat) zo heet, zei ze "Maar dan moet de sla na het spek, en dan pas de tomaat!", wijzend op de volgorde in haar huidige sandwich, spek-tomaat-sla. En ja, ik heb uitgelegd dat de letters alleen zeggen wat er in zit, niet de volgorde waarin ze moeten worden toegepast :)

it's in alphabetical order!

Hm. Yeah. Hadn't even noticed that before. The question then arises, of course - was that on purpose?

Karin is going to grow up to become a computer programmer. In COBOL.

[miekec]

Heh. So far, she's already proclaimed she wants to be a) a princess and b) a clown when she grows up. We'll see if COBOL programmer makes it to her list :)

COBOL programming is broadly consistent with her desire to be a clown, but INTERCAL would be the ideal choice. If she takes up C++, she might not be a princess but she could be prima donna. I'm not sure if there is any way to combine being a princess and a clown at the same time, but PL/I comes to mind.
