Kid's corner

A small anecdote. Elias went to the hairdresser with me today. Not the guy we usually go to; he recently became a father, or so I was told, and he doesn't seem to answer his phone when we ring for an appointment. So we headed out to the Carré Coiffure where one of Elias friends from kindergarten goes. They have a both a female and male salon, and we did not need an appointment, so I took him there, because Veerle was feeling unwell.

The tv was showing the Masters 2007 match between Justine Henin and Maria Sharapova. The former played in a red shirt, the latter in black. When Elias was asked which woman he thought prettier, he resolutely and without any hesitation said: 'Not that' when Justine was on screen, and 'That one' when Sharapova was being broadcast.

I must admit the boy has got taste :-)
