28 April 2010; 15:23: Lounging by the Alster, getting some writing done in my ~Moleskin because I’m just that indie. One may think that relaxing few hours was the highlight of my day. Oh no. My highlight is right now when I am watching Titanic dubbed in German. There’s nothing like a passionate love scene followed by “Wie gehts?” Which brings us to the challenge of the day….segue.
Challenge of the Day: This has actually been a challenge for the past couple weeks. The six year old I au pair for has just learnt of ~the birds and the bees, if you will. Only, he doesn’t believe in euphemisms. In fact, he believes in one word and one word only: The Big F. As harmless as it is, it has got to the point where he’s asking very specific questions, and miming very graphic situations. Also, everything is “sexy” so him. Sexy people. Sexy music. Sexy bread. I’m not quite sure where he’s picked all this up, but he is a very well informed six year old. An appropriate means of answering all questions has yet to be found, and instead has been substituted with a slight giggle and “Stop it.” That’s all I’ve got.
German Word of the Day: ficken - the six year old’s new favourite word.
