You know when you say hi to someone, how the hi is different depending on who you say it to? Like if it's someone you know or not.
I was having some trouble with one of the freezers at work tonight, so I had to call the manager and get him to come down about an hour before we closed. As he arrived I said hi to him. There was this kid right in front of my boss that thought I was talking to him, and then he looked at me as if he was waiting for me to say something else (probably because of the way I said hi.). I just gave him my best "customer smile" and walked past him to get to my manager and explain the problem. When the kid had gone my manger told me: "That's that kid that plays Mowgli at "Chat Noir"" (big theater in Oslo)
Me: "oh-kay..."
I had no idea who he was. He's even been in the local paper quite a few times, since he's (fairly) local. So maybe he thought I said hi the way I did because I recognized him...?
Even if I didn't know who he was though, it's kind of cool that we got a "celebrity" in the store... It's a small place, we take what we can get.
I used to know about a lot about celebrities, when I was a teenager, and I lived in Oslo. But it was still more the foreign ones, not the Norwegian ones. I even met a couple of celebrities when we lived in Oslo. My father works in television, and I got to go with a couple of times when he filmed some celebrities. I wish I had his job. He gets to travel the world.
By the way, it stopped raining... Kind of. It's snowing instead.

Wow.. I bet that your father had interesting stories to tell.
Hurry Spring!!!!!!
Have a fantastic weekend
I bet your father has met some interesting people and seen some wonderful places - how lucky to have such a job.
I was once sitting beside a 'famous' footballer and didn't know it. He started to talk to me about some rather personal matters and I looked at him saying sorry do I know you? The look on his face was priceless and seemed to say how dare I not know who he was.
