Day 10 - Sunday, sunny Sunday

• Heidrun went to church this morning with Matthias. Something really funny happened there: The three year old son of a friend of ours managed to pull out the nail from the feet of a big jesus statue and played with it for a while until someone noticed. His dad was really embarrassed. (I thought that this was kind of nice of the kid - must hurt with a nail in your feet).
• While they were in church, Florian built a big shopping mall out of Matthias' and his Lego. After they came back my wife wanted to teach Florian the advantages of having a sibling. She: "How good that you have a brother and how good that he's got Lego as well and how good that you could use it to build that mall." Florian: "Yes and how good that he was at church!".
  
• We went to the bakery at the train station afterwards to buy some bread. Then we sat at a bench in the sun each of us eating some pastry. That was really nice, kind of like the best part of a skiing trip. Afterwards Heidrun couldn't get up because of her back pain which apparently pregnant women develop (it was amusing because she looked like an 80 year old woman, but of course I was very supportive).
• I do think that pregnancy is a really dumb way to procreate. That evolution developed something like this puzzles me. You feel sick and tired for 9 months, throw up every day, have horrible back pains, eat weird stuff and then at the end of it you try to squeeze something the size of a watermelon through a hole the size of a nut. Now, that sounds like a good plan to me. I'm so happy it's not men that have to go through this, even though all women tell me that it is the most joyful experience in their life - yeah, sure and I am Santa Claus.
  
• Florian played "rocket" with an open bottle of soy sauce today. I'm pretty sure you can imagine the results ...
• We played "Guitar Hero" again today. I was at 87% of a song I haven't managed to finish for months. Then suddenly Matthias leapt in front of the TV and stared into it from 10 inches distance so I couldn't see anything. I shouted: "Aaarghl, please get out of the way!!" Florian pulled him away from the TV and Matthias fell on his bum. He didn't wear any nappies and started crying and peed on the carpet. (This carpet is slowly turning into a toilet.)
• In the evening we went to McDonalds for dinner as kids do like that stuff. On the way home in the car we had another nice conversation.
  Matthias: "What does the horse say?" Parents: "Nothing" M: "The horse says 'hello mum'" P: "That's nice" M:"The horse says: 'hello dad'" P: "That's nice" M: "What does the horse say?" Florian: "The horse says: 'Matthias shut up!!'".
