life with a grade schooler: on time travel and Beethoven

During dinner, I told you about the movie I watched on U-Next while you were napping: About Time (2013). Told you it was about a man who can travel back in time.

you: (eyes wide) he can travel to the future?!

me: no. But he can travel back to the past.

you: ooohhh! Did he travel back to see Beethoven play? I would want to travel back to hear Beethoven in person!

Dear young lady, when I was your age, I didn’t have any idea who Beethoven was, not have I even heard of him. You are remarkable.

We thought we won’t be seeing the sunrise this morning. Sunrise was supposed to be at 6:50, but it was still gray clouds and already daybreak at 5 past 7. A lot of people actually already left. Disappointed.

And then suddenly the horizon was golden. I am so glad I stayed.

Beautiful. I couldn’t catch with my camera how the whole sun shone on us for a few seconds. And may those few moments of the golden sunrise keep the glow in us the whole year through.
