Adoration

Yesterday’s corner time: 9 Minutes.

Since my return from holiday, I’ve also been re-acquainted with my sword, which has helped me re-establish a close relationship with my corner.

During my vacation, I discovered that apparently, both Mum and Dad are very good at science.

According to Dad, Mum demonstrated the Archimedes principle when she plunged into our swimming pool, displacing most of its contents. Dad suggested that it was the only pool in Corsica with its own tidal system.

However, the following day at the beach, as Dad bounded into the sea, Mum highlighted that this was an excellent example of the Butterfly effect. What appeared to be a large splash in Corsica would result in a huge Tsunami in Asia. I never realized that butterflies were so nasty and vindictive.

During our stay, we started adapting to the Mediterranean way of life by having afternoon siestas. As a result of these naps, we were then allowed to stay up much later and go out in the evenings with my parents.

To my utter amazement, everyone there seemed to absolutely adore Becca. They couldn't get enough of her. I kept saying that if they liked her so much that they could take her but unfortunately, I don't think they understood me.

They just pinched my cheeks and said things like "Tu es un petit diable" which I think means that I'm quite cute too.

I need to learn some French so that I can thank them properly next time.

Matthew.

9 minutes corner time Matthew, that seems harsh for a "Tu es un petit diable"
