YukonJen in Switzerland

A blog full of memories

The moment you realize you are of a different generation

15 April 2016 by YukonJen

We are driving home in the afternoon. “What would you like for goûter? (snack time)?”

“Cookies!!” Mpants exclaims right off the bat.

“Chocolate eggs!” Exclaims Jman (on a chocolate high from Easter).

“Raspberry purée?” I offer as a solution.

Something between the two demands.

Exactly like their mother, they looooovvvveee all things raspberry. I have been hiding these small pots of raspberry sauce (you know..apple sauce, but with raspberries). I planned to eat them surreptitiously… Myself. But, I hadn’t shopped for quite a few days and was out of alternatives.

“Yayaaaaay! Raspberry purée!” They shout. Excited at the thought.

And I start singing: “Raspberry purée”… To the tune of Prince’s “Raspberry Beret”. And the boys are singing it with me:

“Rasp-berry purée!” We sing at the top of our lungs.

“Rasp-berry purée!”

Me: “Haha. Let’s find that song on the Youtube and play it on the radio. You’ll love it!” Thinking that I can stream it to the sound system in the car when I do find it.

Jman: “What’s a radio?”
