The little Yoasties have squints. This means they have to wear glasses. The squint isn't too bad when they wear their glasses but without it one eye looks at the nose and the other at you. As a result of this we have to got to the hospital on a regular basis to have their eyes checked and monitored.
Going to hospital involves two adults. I can not take both Yoasties on my own as CS will answer for CE therefore rendering test results useless. Normally my father comes along to wait with one child as I take in the other. This time Oma went along. She was informed that frankly Opa is more fun. Well that is because Opas and Papas are there for fun. Omas and Mamas need to make sure there is some form of child rearing. Well that was Oma's explanation and I think she is probably right.
Once home Mr Yoastie arrived from work and wanted to know how our day had been. "Lemony had her hair different today! Normally she wears it up but today it was loose and it is really long and brown." informed CS
"I know they have strange names at your school but who on earth calls their child Lemony?"
"She is not a child. She is the orthoptist lady at the hospital." rolling eyes of disbelieve at her farther that he could be so silly.
Well she is really called Melanie. I tried to correct CS but she now insists that the orthoptist is called Melony.

Lemony, hihi. Great imagination!
:-) indeed...
squints, is that what we call in the NL a lazy eye..?
@Mink, het is meer 'scheel'. Een lui oog krijg je als je te lang niets doet aan een scheel oog (de hersenen zijn zo slim om het gekke beeld te corrigeren door één oog uit te scakelen). Je moet dus bij een squint ook vaak met een pleister aan de slag enzo (om het te forceren om recht te gaan staan), dus vandaar dat de termen door elkaar lopen.
What wisdom... about the role of men vs women. That's like Mars and Venus in squints!
