(When) Mountain Comes to Town


OK, this post is a mixture of two pictures, the buildings are from the city of Sighisoara, while the mountain is from Predeal area - both from Romania. If I remember well, this one was my first work combining more pics into a single one...

And of course, here's another joke!

A woman walks into a social worker office, followed by her 15 kids.
- Wow, says the social worker, all of them are yours?
- Yes, they're all mine, answers the woman.
She turns around staring at the kids and says "Sacha, sit down", and all of them conformed her command.
- So, let's start with the paperwork, says the worker. Tell me their names, please!
- This one, the tall one is Sacha, says the woman.
- OK, the next one? asks the worker.
- The blonde one is Sacha, says the woman pointing at him with her finger.
The worker got a little confused, but continued filling all the papers, and discovered that all the kids were named Sacha.
Finally the worker says:
- OK, I see all of them got the same name!
- Yes, answers their mom, it's much easier for me to communicate with them. In the morning I have to say just once "Sacha, wake up!", or "Sacha, the diner is ready!". Naming all of them with the same name was the best idea I ever had!
The social worker thinks for few seconds, then asks:
- OK, but what do ya do when you want to call only one particular kid?
- Oh, that's simple, says the woman. I call him by his last name!
