Okay #Dutchies, question. Sitting on the train. An older woman tells my daughter to get out of the seat she is sitting in so the older woman can sit there because “she’s a child”.
Is this normal? No problem letting an elderly person take my seat, but projection that my child is lesser than was odd

#Summer is a little different this year. Last year, we spent time enjoying the #JerseyShore, #Virginia pools, and the sprinkler in the front yard.
Now, we’re cruising through the #Netherlands and exploring new cities.
Life changes fast, but we’re enjoying the moment.
