Day 56 - Asians = X-Men

• How to brush children's teeth (a guide by Karenzpapa). The theory: Brush every tooth and make sure it's clean, always brush from red to white to protect and massage the gum. Do this for 3 minutes twice a day. Afterwards make sure the kids rinse their mouth with enough water. The reality: "Matthias open your mouth." "..." "Matthias open your mouth." "Where is my horse?" "Matthias open YOUR MOUTH!!!!!!" Then you start wrestling down the child (we sometimes call him Mike Scofield, because he always flees) that is trying to flee. You catch screaming Mike on his way out of the bathroom and carry him back. You try some new tactics: "Mike what's inside your mouth? Are there any animals?" Then you start looking for his favourite animals in his mouth. That normally works and you can more or less get his teeth cleaned.
• On our way to nursery Matthias was carrying his favourite plastic dinosaur. Since the dinosaur also walked there, he stopped every now and then to touch the ground with the dino's feet. You can imagine that this slowed down our "Moonwalk" even more. We were virtually stopping time again. I actually found out now that maybe Matthias is not simply slow but has a genetic mutation that allows him to slow down time. I've seen that in a documentary called "Heroes" where there is an Asian guy called Hiro Nakamura who has the same ability. So maybe we Asians tend to be X-Men since my super power is to get red immediately after drinking alcohol (not very useful to save the world I know).
• Matthias noticed the giant dog turd at the building site again. Funny, since he hasn't mentioned it in a while now. At the cat house he also mentioned: "Here's where the cats appear!".
  
• When I cleaned the living room Matthias asked: "Why do you do that?" I explained that kids make a huge mess and turn every room into a pigsty. He replied "No that's not true, children always clean up!" ... "WHAT!!?!?!"
• Showed Matthias a remote control car that I've found in the attic. Unfortunately we ran out of battery power after five minutes. But he liked it.
• We played with plastic animals most of the day again :( You really have to try that once in your life it's kind of a Zen like spiritual experience. Florian also joined in later on and has learned from me: he picked up two horses, placed them on the floor and announced that one is eating grass and one is sleeping :)
  
• Lunch: Curry chicken (yes I cooked a lot of that), Dinner: Pizza
• Night: Went out with colleagues. It's official now that I suck at pool billards.
