Wishing you Happy Easter holidays!

 

Behind every successful spontaneous early morning selfie there's is hours and hours of strategic planning. The child's assignment is to subtly distract attention from Mom's out of control morning hair. Mom's incredibly sexy schiesser pyjama is meant to distract attention from traces of chocolate on child's lips. The amazing 'eastery' colour of the bedsheets is supposed to distract attention from Mom's pyjamas. The bedsheets are Egyptian cotton. The point of this last remark is to point attention to the fact that this is how we roll, yeah. Cool and stylish. First day of our Easter holiday. May the fun begin!

This lovely morning I treated my child to pancakes. And she treated me to her take on love, marriage and beauty. 

All that while enjoying her daily dose of Mega Mindy series. The story goes that a hot police agent Toby is dreaming about marrying a super hero Mega Mindy. He bought her a ring and all, but whenever he wants to kiss her and tell her he loves her, she rushes away to catch criminals and save the world/the village. If there is one thing Mega Mindy hates, it’s criminals.

Free translation from Dutch. 

Child: Toby is in love with Mega Mindy.
Mom: Because he’s trying to kiss her?
Child: No.
Mom: What then?
Child: Because she makes him very nervous and very shy.
 

Child: I’m going to marry, too, you know.
Mom: Ah, that’s nice.
Child: I’m going to marry Ayda. And Zoë. And Suzanne. And Hanna.
Mom: All of them? At the same time?
Child: Yes.
Mom: And if you had to choose one, who would you marry?
Child: I don’t need to choose, mama.
 

Child: And I’m going to marry Kairon as well.
Mom: Kairon?
Child: Yes.
Mom: Kairon? A boy?
Child: Yes, Kairon is a boy.
Mom: You tell me all the time that you don’t like boys.
Child: I don’t like boys. I like Kairon.
 

Child: Kairon is in love with me.
Mom: You think so?
Child: I don’t think so. I know so.
Mom: And how do you know?
Child: Because he told me.
Mom: He did?
Child: It’s true, he did. He told me at the school playground that he’s in love with me.
Mom: How very nice!
Child: Yeah! But Ayda heard him say he’s in love with me and she told me that she’s in love with me, too. So we decided that I will marry both Kairon and Ayda. And also Zoë. And Suzanne. And Hanna.
Mom: Exciting!
Child: And we will have a wedding party. In a yellow tent. You can come and watch.
Mom: Am I invited to your wedding?
Child: Yes, you are.
Mom: Thank you, I’ll happily attend.
 

Mom: Do you know what it means? To be married?
Child: Sure I do.
Mom: What is it then?
Child: It’s being kind to each other.
 

Child: Actually, Mega Mindy is very, very beautiful.
Mom: What’s so beautiful about her?
Child: Her hair. It’s so light. Girls with light hair are very, very beautiful. I don’t like dark hair.
Mom: Hello?
Child: Hello!
Mom: You don’t find dark hair beautiful? My hair is dark. Don’t you find your mother beautiful?
Child: You are beautiful to me. Because I love you.
