A Dutch Language Class Day

I attended the class at 9 am on time. The teacher showed us an emergency kit that we should prepare at home. The most interesting point was the word “fluitje” (which means “whistle” in Dutch). I asked her, “I say the word fluitje every night. Like, can I have a Heineken fluitje?” It turned out to be exactly the same word. I stopped by a stationery store and bought a pack of rubber bands for my new artwork. I continued my experiments at home, and finally I found a solution. I officially started making a new artwork. In the evening, I went to the bar My Way. Karin gave me a beer. That was rare. I shared the story about the word “fluitje,” but they did not know why fluitje (whistle) and fluitje (a glass) use the same word. The topic made them curious, so I was happy about that. I ate leftover grilled raw pork sausage and sauteed vegetables that I had prepared before going out. I fell asleep around 10 pm.
