Sarah, yesterday:

Sarah: “Dad: do you mind driving me to school after lunch?”

Moi: “And why should I do such a thing?”

Sarah: “because you love me?”

Moi: “according to your reasoning I should be doing everything Mum wants..”

Sarah: “you do!”

I drove her to school..

Do we really bear a certain resemblance to our parents?

Sarah’s nose (unfortunately) seems to confirm this supposition, and Vic couldn’t be mistaken for anyone else’s daughter..

But as I – quite conveniently, I must admit – do not have a pic of myself handy to demonstrate the essence behind this post, how about comparing other adorable, handsome hunks to their mothers?

A pale comparison to what could have been, but anyway: let’s start with the mums:

Looks like she suffered the same amount of punches as her son did in his saga of six movies.

Holà: obviously spanish. Her son prefers Hollywood to sunny Spain.

Has been known to be learning French; HER son is in paradise.

My favorite: such an Angel!

Now her son’s career has been simply blooming!

Simply adores her son-in-law!

Considered auditioning for the role as Moneypenny

His life is full of Spice; “Metro-whatever”? As long as he bends ‘em..

Hoped for triplets: got a triple-Bourne.

Easy, eh?

And here’s the proof that Mendel wasn’t all that wrong:

After spending many many evenings searching the net, I found the absolutely ideal place for our Summer holidays:

A beautiful Finnish log cabin solitarily situated on a 25 hectare island right in the middle of a crystal-clear lake teaming with trout, pike, perch and whitefish. Totally idyllic!

The property also includes a sauna, as well as an additional cabin where you can smoke the fish you catch. It can really only be reached by boat (which you can rent for an additional €50/week).

I imagined my darling family would cry of joy when I presented them with such a cunning plan: no stress, no cars, no people, no pollution; just us vs. nature..

Ha! You bet!

We booked yesterday..

Sarah, 15 2/3:

“I don’t think I’m cute and feel bad about it. But how do really ugly people feel?”

*Hug*

Isn’t it amazing how creative the French can be when it comes to foodstuff (and Presidents):

Found this great gadget which I can’t wait to try out:

You simply stick it into one of your USB ports and gain instant access to the best crûs there are!

Brilliant!
