Me (to family): ‘I’ve made some tea, would anyone fancy some?’
My husband: ‘Hmm, after all those years eventually you might prove to be useful..’
Me (moderately loving look): ‘Beg you pardon?’
He: ‘…As opposed to all these years when you’ve served as a Beautiful Decorative Element in our family, I mean..’
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.’
My daughter (14 ys) preparing for her exam tomorrow:
‘Mama, I still need to study hard for tomorrow. Could you come here to the sofa and be with me? It’s so motivating.’
Me (deeply touched): ‘Really? Sure I come! Shall I also study with you?’
She: ‘No, it’s enough if you are just close. Whenever I look at you I get scared that I am still not ready..’
Corona lock-down Compliment Of The Day:
A few days ago, after finding solution to a problem, I received the below feedback from a nice colleague working abroad:

I am still trying to figure out how exactly being a saint can be matched up with my KPIs for 2019.
