Janis

Two youngsters joined the evening tonight. I was very relieved that they were not babies but two very tall soon-to-be-men, one 15 and one 17. The younger one had a thing with eating. He didn't stop. By the time I was clearing the plates off the table (having waited an impatient 15 minutes for a smoke) he was still eating.
His name is Jan, and as it turned out it wasn't the first time somebody told him to eat faster. In fact, his mother was once asked whether his name was Janis or Isjan (Jan iss! Iss jan!). Which I know is only funny for German-speaking people what at this particular point in time I don't care.
And since they didn't know what a blog is, they agreed to have their photo posted here.
