Such a good story. I was waiting for her to say that at the end she discovered she was in the 'Anthropology for Beginners' class....

She's going to be telling that story til she is too old to remember it. Made me laugh out loud!

That version of the story could also have happened. She is chaotic. Adorable but there is always the very real possibility of nonsense going down!

There's a whole sitcom pilot, right there in one blog! Try it on the people who made Motherland.

Omg, that is a story for a family legend! I thought it was going to turn out that the audience was deaf.

only darling Tilly could come up with this... i am fortunate to have a picture of her in my mind (though i skipped past the naked part as quickly as i could) ... by the time of the description of adding *more* clothes than usual, i have spit tea all over my place mat (fortunately, at home, though the cats were very startled).... did she come back from Finland simply to regale you with this story? and then sail off again? that would be so tilly...

I do most fervently hope there is a video of this extraordinary performance.

I read the piece to my husband. Good job I'd read it to myself first, we nearly didn't get through it through laughing. Thank you :)

Sounds like Tilly learned a valuable lesson of Performance Art: what makes perfect sense to you might get totally lost in translation, in her case, literally!

Persevere, young lady! 😊😜

Ha ha ha! I don't think anything will stop her taking her clothes off in public to be honest!
