Introducing Gordon.
In our bi-lingual family there are often interesting combinations of Dutch and English created. So, after a loooong process to even get as far as a diagnosis of a tumour in Millie’s leg, she decided to refer to it as her ‘gezwel’, or ‘swelling’ in English. After much discussion to find an appropriate name for said gezwel, Millie decided on Gordon. At the time we didn’t know what sort of gezwel he was and were hoping he was a Good Gordon.
Turned out he was Grumpy.
