‘Dear Colleagues,
Pls note that I am facing technical issues, due to which I might be disconnected from any of our precious meetings.
Currently I am elaborating different solutions* in order to prevent such cases in the future.
Thank you for your understanding.’
*I swear I will buy him a wire for Xmas.
Today a put a question to my manager which he responded by saying ‘I do’.
I quickly clarified it wasn’t meant to be a marriage proposal.
We have a small kitten for 2 weeks who enthusiastically helps me whenever working from home office.
Yesterday walking through the keyboard he wrote in my report ‘uuuuuuuuWTF’.
While admitting that partly he was indeed right, still I considered this standpoint excessively critical, for which reason Tobi’s professional assessment was not retained in the final version.
Statue in a churchyard in HU.
(For clarity: according to Google it commemorates the devastation of WWII the standing figure representing the Hungarian Mother..)
Upon having checked in the hotel my husband immediately hung the ‘Do not disturb’ sign on the door.
After 2 days he indicated at the reception that we will take this with us, just in case it also works at home.
To our 15-yr-old daughter at the family vacation:
‘Look, Noëmi, how beautiful the sunset is above the sea!!’
She: ‘What sea?’
Just found this picture in the photo gallery of an elegant hotel.
Despite the interesting offer I am afraid I will not book here.
A school friend’s mama to our son (11):
She: ‘And Walter, where were you born?’
Walter: ‘In Hungary.’
She: ‘Which part?’
Walter: ‘My whole body.’
Ok, the famous apple saying is about children and their parents after all, not about siblings being similar to each other..
Me (to my son): ‘And how was your school bike exam?’
He (11 years): ‘It was terribly difficult.’
Me: ‘How come? You bike pretty well I thought.’
He: ‘That’s what I thought, too. But then it turned out that during the exam we weren’t allowed neither to stand on the bike nor to steer it with 1 hand or no hands – and so I was so bored I was watching the landscape left and right and almost hit another bike in front of me. Haven’t the organisers ever heard about ‘road safety’ for God’s sake??’
Me to my son: ‘Walter, would you join us for dinner, pls?’
He (11): ‘Cannot, unfortunately. I am drawing miniature toilets.’
Me: ‘Pardon? Why exactly?’
My husband: ‘So that if we are visited by miniature people they can also take a pee – don’t be so difficult, for God’s sake..’
My children in a dialogue:
While biking in Belgium:
‘Here starts the sea. Please, don’t throw anything in it.’
I could apply the same logics to some other things in life..
Today was THE ideal day-off for me.
Look for the binoculars
Photo taken just now during my casual walk.
Only noon on Saturday and already out of bed!
Achievements at their best.
Me (to my daughter): ‘Noëmi, you are so beautiful.’
Noëmi (15): ‘No way. No. Not at all.’
My husband joining us: ‘What’s the topic?’
Noëmi: ‘Nothing special. Mama is complimenting on her own genes.’
This morning:
Our daughter (15): ‘Papa, do we have anything delicious for breakfast?’
Papa: ‘Don’t know. Let’s go down the kitchen to prepare something, call your brother, too.’
She (to her bro): ‘Walter, watch out, escape, run for your life, I got caught, but you might still have a better life waiting for you somewhere else….!’
She’s turned 15 today.
Only 15 and she is already constantly busy with the welfare of mankind!
My girl.
…to your imagination.
Just found a school report of my daughter (now 14 ys, back then she was 10). Children need to sign the reports here, too.
Well, her signature was apparently the combination of a comet and a magic wand.
I like people with ambition.
Me to my 11-yr old son: ‘What do you think the major difference is between you growing up here in Belgium – as opposed to if you were living in Hungary?’
Walter: ‘Now I can ask in four languages where the toilet is.’
Most pragmatic.
My most favourite spare time activity is to manually correct the mistakes made by my mobile’s autocorrect function – a function that was designed to enable me spare time while writing.
My husband to our 10-yr-old son:
‘Walter, would you like to come and see how I make pancake? In case in the future you would also end up with a lazy daughter & wife in your family who you would need to cook for.. But don’t forget son, in this family we are still working hard on getting equal rights for boys..’
Walter: ‘Uh you are making pancakes?? Can I also get some? Don’t have time now, still playing on my mobile…’
My husband: ‘…Where was I? Ah yes, at the equal-right-for-papas movement..’
This morning:
Me: ‘What do you have in your cup, tea?’
My husband (with patience): ‘Yes, it is tea. I am well aware that it might be mistaken for a urine sample, too, still it is camomile tea. ….True, it WILL become a urine sample pretty soon, and…’
Me: ‘Thank you. Honestly, all I wanted to ask you if you want a re-fill from the freshly made tea …but to receive a complete urological dissertation instead is way better than that, isn’t it..’
Ok, let that 2021 start, we are ready.
I am ready to start
