Bathroom at 17.31 p.m. Little boy: “Hey, you put on my grey track pants.” Big boy: “No, this isn’t true.” Little boy: “I am sure they are mine.” Big boy: “Come on. You don’t know yours.” Little boy: “I am sure I always put them at the same place.” Big boy: “No, […]
Kitchen table at 12.16 p.m.: Big boy: “Do you have a girlfriend?” Little boy: “No, thank you.” Big boy: “Aren’t you in love with J.?” Little boy: “You’re crazy.” Big boy: “Come on. Tell me.” Little boy: “No, leave me in peace.” Big boy: “But I’m sure about it.” Little boy: […]
Bathroom at 6.45 a.m.: Big boy: “Why do you look at me this way?” Little boy: “What’s the problem?” Big boy: “Stop starring at me.” Little boy: “Did you get up with the wrong foot?” Big boy: “You look terrible today.” Little boy: “You’re in such a bad mood.” Big […]

I feel so bad. We went to the hairdresser today, and as their father always tells the boys to cut their hair shorter, we did it. Little boy is now running around with his winter woolen hat. He is so ashamed of his look. The picture shows the situation “before”, and it will take […]
Two brothers – but two totally different persons – by character and behavior. The older one is an early bird, gets up at six o’clock and starts yawning long before nine o’clock at night. He falls at sleep in the circus, when we have guests or when his little brother feels totally in […]
