Sinds onze vakantie in Washington en Canada hadden we het druk met werk en school in Zuidoost-Azië. Nu mogen we alweer de volgende vakantie voorbereiden. We komen in juni een weekje naar Oma, en reizen dan naar waar het half Nederlands, half Belgisch en half Duits is!
Enfin, ik heb ook een paar domme dommes gespaard:
Katelyn is counting money from a piggy-bank, while Aiden is doing his homework. Aiden stares at the coins and notes in awe, and stops writing. Katelyn realizes she found a new motivator, and the perfect moment to use it: "Aiden, you better continue doing your composition, or else I will give you no inheritance!"
It is nearing Chinese Newyear, when families come together for their Reunion Dinner (een soort tweede kerstdag). Aiden looks over at a condo unit opposite our flat and says, "There are many people in that apartment, I think they are going to have a uranian dinner"
Real chemistry time... "For carbon dioxide, we need...?"
Elsa: "Oxygen!"
"Yes, very good, and also car... car... car..."
Aiden: "Cardboard!"
Elsa feels I prune her plant too much. "Papa! Don't kill my plant! This plant has been with me for decades!"
Katelyn laments the dying plants on our small balcony: "Even my sturdy wind-beans are gone."
Me: "They're gone with the wind! Ha!"
Katelyn: "Hmph! And, it's winged beans, my winged beans are gone!"
Me: "Ah... Yes, those are gone with the winged!"
Katelyn: "[indistinct] cause the garbage bag to tear."
Me: "Impossible! How can statistics cause something to happen?"
Katelyn: "Sataysticks! Duh."
And we took some pictures at a shopping mall recently.
We love big fluffy cats...
And Studio Ghibli...
We play Minecraft blocks (when the aircon is cold)...
And, eh, AI plays with us...
