| Felix practicing first thing in the morning, before even getting dressed! |
Still snowing, cold and wet. The big kids stayed home and Felix and I went to a little puppet show that we had signed up for weeks ago. The city of Graz does these events during the school vacation and they only have limited spots, so you have to sign up for ages early. Lots of people however didn't come today, because of all the snow. The buses were all running behind schedule, the sidewalks were all disgusting, the wind was blowing... Just the way winter is supposed to be! After an entire day of real winter I guess people here are ready for spring.
The puppet show was very bureaucratically themed... appropriate for one being shown at the Amt Für Jugend und Familie. Kasperl has lost his passport, so he has to go to the government office to get one. They are not well organized and he has to talk to several different people and wait a long time to get his photo taken and his passport made. Then a robber steals his passport. To get it back they enlist the help of a sleepy hibernating kissing crocodile (the robber hates kisses) but by accident, in a kissing slobbering attempt, the passport gets eaten. Kasperl's friend tells him that he'll have to go back to the government office to get a new passport, but Kasperl declines, figuring his holidays will be long gone by the time he gets his passport. The 3-year-olds thought this was all very funny! The adults just groaned. That's maybe why we're called groan-ups... //groan
