Projeto Infância – 39/52 – A tia querida | Auntie dear

Esta semana, meu sobrinho mais novo fez meu coração derreter. Saindo da minha casa um dia, meu sobrinho falou para o pai dele: ‘A tia Elis mora no meu coração!’

Quando me contaram isto, eu estava na casa deles para ser a babá da noite já que minha irmã e meu cunhado iriam sair. Meu sobrinho, que estava por perto, ouviu eles contarem. Olhou para mim, deu um sorrisinho irresistível e saiu correndo e chamando ‘tia Elis, tia Elis!’ para que eu o pegasse e pedindo cosquinhas. E ria, ria, ria!

Claro que este coração de tia quase derreteu, né?

This week my youngest nephew made my heart melt.

One day when they had come over for a short visit, while his dad pulled out from our driveway he said ‘I love auntie Elis with all my heart!’

When they told me this, I was at their place babysitting the kids for the night so my sister and brother-in-law could go out. My nephew who was around when they told me, looked at me, gave me this irresistible smile and ran upstairs calling me to go after him and tickle him, ‘Auntie Elis, auntie Elis!’. And he would laugh and laugh!

And this auntie’s heart almost melted, of course!
