Traditionally, Bulgarian children spend the summer vacation with their baba and diado in the family village. That seems to be true of half-Bulgarian and the children of Bulgarian immigrants too. On our flight back yesterday, there were four unaccompanied minors seated around us. At one point, about an hour before landing, all of them came to visit us and take turns playing with the baby.
Being surrounded by children made me wonder what it would be like to fly alone with three children, instead of just 2. This morning, I read this article by Suzi Telford who has five children under the age of 4. And I wondered if the philosophy of going with the flow has any limits at all.
OOFA! Five under four, indeed. No. No thanks.
Sad news coming up for me and mine. I’ll drop you a line about it all.
Oh no. Sending good thoughts your way.
