Things not to tell a Swiss person

"Goodness, a tame rat, how novel!"
"Umm, sorry, no dogs in the house"
"This wine tastes horrible"*
"Is this your bar of gold?"
Etc.

*Swiss wine really does taste horrible. My friend, Shiona, who knows a thing or two about wine, described it as "grim" and she's right.

Otherwise, things are on the up. Just as I had resigned myself to give Emma mashed banana til she goes to university, she scoffed a whole 2 cubes of butternut squash. My chubby queen is fickle, but it just adds to her charm.
