Too funny for words

 Hubby gave our two highchairs away for free. They have been blocking the guestroom, and Matthäus as well as Flavius have gotten too big for them anyway. The man who picked the chairs up gave us three boxes with toothbrushes in return as a thank-you. In each box there are 14 packages with four brushes each. That makes 4×14×3 plus 2 additional packages. Even if we change the brushes six times a year (as recommended by dentists) this would mean that we have brushes for fourteen and a half years. And if you take into consideration that old age comes with less teeth and hence less use of toothbrushes, we might be well provided for up to our nineties. No thanks, neither hubby nor I are interested in getting so old!
Otherwise the day was quite uneventful, as usual. A bit of housework, some cooking, then lunch. At lunchtime it got interesting for the first time- hysterical son sent a message if hubby knew the combination of numbers for the suitcase and the belt to keep it closed. Apparently young Flavius had been bored and decided to play with the locks. No, hubby did not remember the numbers, so son had to do the trial and error game for quite a while, before the family was able to get into the suitcase and to the restaurnt dressed in fresh clothes. I think today´s lunch has been the most amusing in a long time- I simply was not able to stop laughing! I hope that son has his lesson learned- never leave your child alone with combination locks. Hard, I know, but very advisable!
In the early evening I had a long phone call with a friend. We haven´t seen or heard from each other for weeks now- no wonder, she has severe problems with her health all of a sudden. We arranged a meeting for next week, if she will not have to go back to the hospital again. Another surgery with a certainly not satisfactory outcome! No wonder that there are so many reports in the dailies nowadays! My guess is that there aren´t enough doctors and hospital staff, while the numbers of patients are steadily climbing!
