A night alone
Okay, the title sounds like a big thing to do to a 13 year old boy. But dad trusts us and is a phone call away.And Michael’s parents are also a phone call away (even if Michael’s at my place).Dad already arranged dinner, he said. It would be here around 6.It’s already paid for, so we only have to open the door.Usually I’m not allowed to open the door to strangers, but tonight I’m allowed to open…
Caleb's surprise
I was in my room studying when something dropped through the mailbox. I was curious, but I promised dad to keep studying until he would get home. He would be home early. Turns out it was a good thing he saw the mail first, because it was a special surprise for him. A CD by Caleb, the violin kid, with a note: “Remko, thank you for seeing me. Caleb” CD Surprise by Caleb So you can see someone,…
Swimming with Michael
Learning
Schools have a fun thing (at least I guess it’s fun for them as it’s no fun for us) called “proefwerkweek” (test week). It lasts more than a week too. And it’s not that they don’t do tests in other weeks. So no Michael visits except for the weekend. (His parents think the same as dad about this, since he goes to the same school as me.) Billy studying Only Dutch worries me a bit, since the…
Holiday planning
So I want to go on holiday. I want to go with dad and Michael. Nothing against Michael’s parents, they would be fun too. The problem is his sisters. They always want to be first and don’t care about Michael’s wishes. His parents know this and that’s part of why they don’t mind him staying at my place so much. Here he doesn’t have his sisters nagging him all the time. But let’s get back to holiday…
The forest
Dad wanted some photos of me and Michael. That’s not special, because otherwise my stories would be boring. This time he asked us where we wanted our photos taken. We forgot the basic rule with dad: don’t be too generic. If he asks you what you want to drink and say doesn’t matter, you’ll end up with a glass of water. Or if he asks you what you want to eat. Don’t say something nice, because he’ll…
The school
Dad and Michael’s parents came to school. Not for fun, but to talk about the bad grades for the book report. My dad was furious when I told him what happened. The only thing that stopped him from storming to school was hearing Michael suffered the same fate. He contacted Michael’s parents instead, which I was happy about. Michael’s dad came to our house, so they could call school together. Poor…
No Michael
No, our friendship isn’t over. We’re still good friends, but he’s away with his family for a few days. A family visit, a bit farther away, so I am alone (dad’s still here, but that’s not the same) for a few days. I’ll manage, I have done so for about 13 years, till I became friends with Michael. But still it’s strange, we do almost everything together. Oh yeah wait. I still need to finish my book…

War
Don’t worry, there’s no real war where we’re involved in. For once, dad asked us for input on his plans. He gave us several options for a museum visit and asked us which we wanted. (Asking 2 boys for input on choosing a museum from a list of museums can result in still not knowing what to do). Michael and I were both interested in a museum about war. So the list was shortened to Nationaal…
Zoo
Mom
I want to know more about my mom, but I’m afraid to bring it up. My dad doesn’t want to talk about it. I talked about it with Michael. He told me to wait until my dad doesn’t have a big agenda. And Michael said he would be there for me, if I wanted that. So recently when Michael was here I asked my dad. He said he didn’t want to talk about it then, but soon. We planned a date and said that it…
To celebrate or not to celebrate
We walked towards our cars, even though we didn’t arrive at the same time. Michael’s dad asks him where he wants to go for dinner. He barely said he wants to introduce me to Greek food or his sisters shout they just want fries with a snack from the snack bar. Michael immediately looks disappointed. Mom sees this. I know a good solution, we go to the snack bar, get some fries and a frikadel and…
The swimming match
Michael is a swimmer and regularly he has a swimming match. Usually these are away matches, but today he has a match at home. And he asked us to be there. Of course we’re coming. I want to see my best friend doing what he loves most besides hanging with me. So there I am behind the glass and somewhere in that big room is Michael. A short lane swimming match they call this. I don’t think the lane…
Surprise
I’ve always said my dancing skills are worse than Billy Elliot’s before he started dancing. Somehow dad never picked up on that clue, or maybe he wants to prove me wrong….. Billy woken way to early I got woken this morning by Michael, this morning. That’s not a big surprise on a non-school day, except he slept at home. He woke mu up at 8.30 in the morning, like what the hell. Dad was there too,…
Trains
When I’m free from school, I used to go to my aunt. My dad has to work, never met my mum and my grandparents from dad’s side, died before I was born. But my dad arranged to be free from work the week I have school vacation. Michael told that he loves trains and my dad knew a place to go. He checked with me if it’s okay to do something this vacation that Michael likes. I said I was okay with it, I…
The Concert
I’ve got an evening alone with my dad. Michael had to train. Dad decided to go watch a concert. By some young artist that apparently is an AI kid. The video isn’t public. Dad actually paid money for an AI concert. Before it starts, the doorbell rings. When I look out the window, I see Michael’s car. Why are his parents here? I go to the door and there’s Michael. Tonight’s training has been…
The Beach
Michael’s parents are a bit strange (in a good way though). His dad turns 50 soon and instead of asking for gifts, he decided Michael and me should visit Harry Potter en het Vervloekte Kind (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child). Two 13 year old boys alone nowadays isn’t the best move. So we need an adult. There are three options: Michael’s mother, Michael’s dad and my dad. Michael’s parents aren’t…
