Summer schooling like a BOSS!

Living as an Afro-European has it's ups and downs, just like every other situation. In this blog we are going to lay out all our secrets bare with a touch of Lemon.

It was a random Thursday and I was getting my teaching grove on when all of a sudden the sun came out and my life got a bit better. 

Seeing the look on my students' faces, an idea bulb exploded in my head. What if we took the lesson outside so they can see: 

-How green a green leaf is, 
-How blindingly yellow the sun shines
-How it feels like to be on a real swing... you know, stuff like that.

Most of the pictures were taken by this talented damsel Confidence, in the pink top- note that she is just four years old, so please excuse the strange pictures you will see along the way!

 

For some reason completely unknown to me, she seems to be unable to pronounce the alphabets 'J' and 'S'. 'J' baffles me the most, on a good day it sounds like 'dtze'. Which means James would be pronounced 'Dtzems' and John would be 'Dtzon'. 

'S' pronounced as 'esu' or 'etzu' sounds a bit acceptable, but I must admit that I still am perplexed! 

This, my fellow readers, is Mercy. He is by far the happiest 9-month old baby I have EVER seen. He is literally ALWAYS smiling and moving and shouting!

I don't know if it's normal, but he HATES his baby walker and will cling to every tiny hair on your eyebrow if he has to just so you take him out of his walker, because as far as he is concerned, your legs are waaay softer than the hard floor so why should he learn to walk there.

He also has this thing with eating adult food and hating baby food like it was the cookie monster itself. This boy, with only two milk teeth in his gum will eat the driest bread, hottest rice, strongest lolly without even caring. 

I'm not sure why she thought her sandals were important, but somehow they were and she used the opportunity to show the world how much her favorite sandals mean to her.

She found her foot really fascinating. Why you ask? Because it's the only thing that can actually survive the longest in her favorite sandals. Sounds legit...I guess!

She actually made Obum act like she was eating sand just for the picture! A professional I must say.

This, my friend, is Goodness aka Goodelicious *-*. She is the inventor of the word 'otzomi?' ,it took me a while to get what exactly she wants from me when she says that, but I'm almost always sure she wants something from me... an answer or so.

otzomi? = me too? (= also me?)

She even has a teddy bear named after her and she hates it more than anything! 

By the time we got home it was already midday and our stomachs were grumbling. Thank God for their mother because somehow she made my favorite meal... INDOMIEEE !!!!

Nur in Krieg und in der Liebe ist alles erlaubt!
