Sweaty parents
Today was a most strange day. First my daddy disappears in the early morning hours and I stay home with mama. She sleeps a lot - or at least she tries when I let her. She is obviously preparing herself. Then papa comes home - all black in his face and smelling of sweat. He says he was working on a horse stable for auntie Jacqueline's horse.
Then mama disappears, all dressed up. She is not at home when I go to bed - this has never happened! I am a big girl and behave very good. It is rather handy that I can drink from the bottle now.
When I wake up for my night drink, she is still not there. My papa has big blurry eyes - he did not dare going to bed for fear he would not hear me in the night! He makes my bottle again. Where is mama? But I behave very well again.
And then suddenly she is back home, I have just finished my bottle. Now she is smelling of sweat, but luckily not black in the face. She is still singing and dancing from a good night out. She has heard the papa of Boaz (one of the puffing babies) in the band VOER and thought he was excellent. And she heard the big boy Hans Dulfer and he was great! The whole tent was jumping and jelling. All the way at the North Sea Jazz. Mama was there together with Jim and Naomi, who walked around with a little girl in her belly - how good to be so strong!
Mama says she missed me very much, but now finally we all three can go to bed.
Do you want to hear Hans Dulfer? Music of Hans Dulfer, use a bit of imagination, the high tones are not recorded...
