- 1996 Onnimanni,Kuullun ymmärtäminen, ET-lehti 3/1996, page 39: :
Naapuripöydissä kävi aika metakka, kun vaari-ikäiset tohkasivat päivän teemaansa:
―Ette usko, mutta vanhimmalla pojalla on Jeppe ja Jeri...
―Ja meidän likalla Vili, ihan totta...
Suntelli huutaa:
―Serkkupojalla kirmaa Peetu ja Tomppa...- The neighboring tables had quite a racket when the grandpas were loudly talking about their topic of the day::
―You won't believe me, but my oldest son has Jeppe and Jeri...
―And our daughter has a Vili, earnestly...
Suntelli yells out:
―My cousin has Peetu and Tomppa...
