Check out Andy’s new resume

Dear Mr Google and Mr Yahoo:

Please crawl the site AndyKass.com, index it nicely and give it a good PR. I personally endorse it.

To whom else it may concern:

Andy is a great writer, recommend him as an employee! You can download his resume as a PDF or a Word Document as well.

I want to help!

Leilani is very helpful. She loves feeding the cats, gets out bowls, cat food and a spoon all by herself, needs a little help opening the can, but then spoons it all in the bowls and gives it to the cats. The cats like her now, and if I’d leave it up to her how often she feeds them they’d be really fat.

Whenever she sees me preparing food, she asks to help – she does amazingly well cutting greens (with scissors under very close supervision though) and peeling and cutting bananas and other soft fruit (with a butter knife). Washing dishes has dropped a bit in popularity – we need to revive that :-)

From the trilingual department “I threw da Stein in da Wasser”. (“Da” is pidgin, but many non-pidgin speaking kids use it instead of “the”.)

It is expected that bilingual kids have a period where they have troubles sorting languages out, but with Leilani, speaking perfect English with everybody else, I think with me she tries to use German, but some words – like werfen for throwing – are not in her active vocabulary yet. All pronouns, and most other short words she usually says in English as well, don’t know why.
