Culé

Ninja bawled his eyes out (again)…I was stunned by such a reaction, feeling like I was watching a Latin/European football drama…

N: 😭😭😭 Why does he have to leave? Why does it have to be PSG? 

Me: not his fault, it’s the mis-management of the club, they cannot pay him. They found a solution but it wasn’t approved by La Liga.

N: how much do they need?

Me: 50 million I guess.

N: each game? every month or?

Me: a year.

N: why cannot they just fundraise so he can stay? (that’s a very gringo solution 🤣)

Me: …I am not sure kid, not sure if that’s even allowed by La Liga. Well, at least you had watched him in person playing in Camp Nou for Barça. You got good memories…

Perhaps he’s right. Maybe a GoFundMe will work? 🤣🤣🤣

Belle

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A is signed up for some theater camps this summer, first the Lion King and then Beauty and the Beast. I didn't expect her to get any "role" and just wanted her to get exposed to musicals, one of my favourite pastimes and wishing that she would go with me when she's older (since the boys are not really interested at all) 

While I was in Barna, I heard her screaming to me on the other side, "mommy, I got it. I got the role Belle. It's like a dream except that it is not a dream!". I was almost in tears. She made it to something she really wanted and she cared for (normally she didn't really care for anything). She worked hard on it and made it to the audition and had a small part.

She's got 21 lines and a solo (singing). They went through 2 weeks of rehearsal. I never imagined that I would be in tears when I saw her on stage singing her solo. She had kept the solo in secret from us for weeks (didn't want to practice in front of us) as she wanted it to be a surprise with "high pitch". I guess this is how it feels to be a "proud" parent. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to experience being a proud parent, my little Belle.
