Easter In Czech Republic

Madeleine and I use up the accoutrement's from yesterday's story time.

Happy birthday Stan!

Sonnet takes Madeleine to the Yohji Yamamoto opening party at the V&A. Sonnet notes Yohji-san a fashion designer "known for his unusual constructions."

Sonnet: "What do people do for Easter in your village?"
Aneta: "Do?"
Sonnet: "Are there any traditions?"
Aneta: "You mean like what we do?"
Sonnet: "Yes."
Aneta: "Well, the boys they have a big stick. And they chase the girls."
Sonnet:
Aneta: "And they try to tap them, the girls."
Me: "Is everybody naked?"
Madeleine: "Dad!"
Me: "Well, they might be."
Madeleine: "Are they naked Aneta?"
Aneta: "No."
Sonnet: "Where do they tap them?"
Aneta: "On their bottom." (Aneta points to her bottom)
Madeleine: "Woa."
Me: "Are they drunk?"
Aneta: "Yes, the boys are very drunk. The girls, they don't like this so much. So when the boys come by before lunch . ."
Sonnet: "They are drunk before lunch?"
Aneta: "Yes. When the boys come by before lunch the girls can splash water on them. They don't like that so much."
Me: "What happens after lunch?"
Aneta: "The girls cannot splash water then."
Madeleine: "We are going to have an Easter Egg Hunt."
