What to do in Stuttgart during your vacation - No 6

No 6: Expire your stay. Especially if your children ask you to.
Anna fell ill last Wednesday, she felt bad all day Thursday at work, and had to stay at home on Friday, with a bad cold, headaches, the lot. (Don't I know those aches and feelings.)
Volker and I took good care of her, forced her to stay in bed, have lots of hot baths and hot drinks, vitamines, blablabla. You know what I'm talking about.
This morning, she asked me to stay a bit longer, and since I had the chance to do so without spending too much money on any tickets (Lidl-tickets being 55 Euro only both ways, and no dates fixed), only for reservations (which I was lucky to get), I agreed. We didn't do nothing special, really, just were couchpotataoes, watching movies ("Drei Männer im Schnee" by Erich Kästner), and enjoying our company.
When she went to bed early, I found Alex had "Darjeeling Limited" on dvd, a movie I had tried to watch all summer, so I had a great time watching it now.
Anna thought it funny that in such a small house as ours, but with four floors, on every floor there was one person watching a movie by him- resp. herself. Well, it was. And we liked it, for a change.
We watched the new episodes of "How I met your mother" together, a few days ago. That was nice as well.
So family life in Stuttgart is a mix of having the chance to eat and chat and do stuff together, and be on your own, if you wish to do so. Nice. I like it that way!
P.S. No, this is not my daughter changed extremely by her illness. It's a small girl I met close to the townhall today. Cute little witch. :)
