Babysitting

A long time ago, in a small kingdom in the north Atlantic, Hannah and I used to babysit a four-year-old called Hanno. He was a cheeky, fun-loving boy, with cute hair that used to stick up like two little devil horns.

Time passed, and suddenly Hanno is 19 and has come out to visit us. He's actually studying in Berkelee. That's right, there's another Berkeley (they just spell it wrong), a famous music college over on the East Coast - alumni include Quincy Jones, Howard Shore, and The Dixie Chicks. Hanno is a rising star in their conducting program, and so talented that I should have drowned him when he was young. I feel middle-aged...



They grow up so fast.
