In God we trust

I love leaving small influences in other people's children. The list is already long, only two cute stories from this week.

I was teaching Daisy when she noticed some American coins on our shelves. I took 1 cent and gave it to her, as a fortune bringer. She was admiring the coin. I will be forever the first person who explained what "In God we trust" written on the coin means. And I will be the first who taught her where on the map the USA is.

My best friend's children did a lot of fun things during the spring holidays. They went to the seaside to Croatia for some days / went to the cinema / went swimming to aqua park / visited lots of friends who have children. After coming back to school her son (aged 9) had to write a homework what he did during holidays. The title of his homework was: "The day that I met Wolfie". And all the text was just about meeting my puppy! And when writing he asked his mom: "What is Klara to me? Is she my aunt?"

How sweet is that?

  2. Oh, that gorgeous boy! Yes, you're his aunt, even if not related by blood. I remember my friend telling me that her son, on hearing I was going to visit, said "oh good, I love Auntie Mali." It really touched me - especially as last time I saw him he was a sullen 15 year old and just grunted at me!

  3. I had lots of honorary grandparents & aunties when I was growing up. We lived far away from our family when I was little, and they helped to fill the gap. Love that your friend's son chose to write about Wolfie. :)
