Klara is finishing the second volume of her handwritten memoir titled My Wonderful Life.
If you let kids be bored and don’t jump in to alleviate the boredom like an eager monkey, they’ll invent excellent ways to entertain themselves. Klara’s memoir was born on the day I had to bring her to work with me and she was forced to sit quietly in a corner through two meetings, one lecture, and several conversations with colleagues and students. The first two pages of the memoir are variations on the phrase “I’m so bored.” After that, it’s stories, pictures, hand drawn puzzles, secret codes, and building plans.
