Kid Stuff

Every child at Fabi's nursery has a folder full of pictures of their nearest and dearest. We're in Fabi's. If he gets teary and difficult out comes the picture of Nanna and Numpa and he calms down. 

They say second-born kids get a raw deal. I see it with Christa. Whatever she does, Fabi always got there first.  However smart she is Fabi will always be smarter. And that's going to be the pattern of her life until they hit adulthood. The upside is she's got an older brother to watch out for her and teach her things. He calls her Kita. She's a cheerful, square-edged, little person who lurches around from one piece of furniture to the next like a battery-operated toy robot.

I think Christa will grow up to be a Force of Nature. She'll find her own thing at school that she excels in but Fabi doesn't.

Yeah, I think she will. I love the way she sort of barges her way though life. And always with a smile on her face.

J still hasn't got over second-born kid syndrome, and he's in his fifties...

I was lucky. I was an only child...

my brother had some one watching for him
but there was no one there for me.

wanting to gather more friends
after the desert of service
