okay, I know my blog posts are FEW and FAR between. but for anyone who still checks... (Orlando! ;))
I had a wonderful evening tonight, and thought I'd share a little "Augenblick" from my life.
I'm babysitting tonight and just have Nicklas (9) and Phipsi (5). those boys LOVE the spaghetti sauce that I make, so I made them spaghetti for dinner. when Phips came to try the sauce and noodles (as he always must do, I love it), he tasted the sauce and then RAN laps through the house yelling "NUMMY (= yummy), NUMMY NUMMY NUUUMMMMMYYYY!!!" when he returned from the basement where he was bringing Nicklas up for dinner I overheard Nicklas asking about dinner and Phipsi responding that the sauce was "SAUFEIN!" (Idk if that's spelled correctly since there are no spelling rules in Swiss Germany -- but it means VERY GOOD!)
the three of us sat down to a lovely little meal, during which we discussed music. a song came on, and Nicklas asked if it was Michael Jackson. I told him it was Queen, and he said "oh, I love Queen!" the conversation continued:
me: "really, you know Queen?! good boy."
Nicklas: "yeah! they play that song 'Don't Stop Me Now' -- I love it!"
me: "wow, good for you!!"
Nicklas: "it has that part, 'like a sex machine/ready to reload!' that's my favorite part!"
after that I pretty much just laughed a lot... and Phipsi agreed that it was his favorite part too.
the rest of the evening was great with the boys too. it's the little things that make me love my job. and in a time of uncertainty and frustration, it's a very good thing.
maybe more some time... :)
love.
