MGP 2008


The annual song contest for kids took place last night. Rita was so full of excitement like the boys have been before her. She had it all planned out. They should have matresses on the floor, lots of candy and hygge. Erik made some serious attempts to stay aloof. But he was the one who had printed the scorecard so we all could put marks by our favorites.

The winner of the show came as a surprise to most of us. Ellen and I had a favorite which was a quite a bit rocky. There was plenty of guitar. The boys performing were older than Erik. So we knew it was an outsider. But we were certain we had spotted the favorite. Erik agreed. But what did we know. The winner a band which none of us had voted as number 1. Axel had it as no. 2. Rita as usual voted for all the girl bands.

I guess it was a lesson in how you as a parent can involve yourself in the doings and likings of your children but there is an age difference so it's not all you can appreciate with an adults eyes. Good to be aware of and important to respect.. (So much for the daily dosis of pocket philosophy:-)
