Lautje enjoys being out and about these days, especially now that the weather is passably nice. So, generally, when he gets to venture outside, he wears one of his golf hats and hangs on to the Mommy's or Daddy's housekeys (he figures - correctly - that the Mommy and Daddy can't leave him behind as long as he has their keys...)


Naturally, after his parents have dragged him through the farmer's market (with all of its strange smells and sounds) even a "patient" boy like Lautje gets a bit tired of his kinderwagen, and wants out to walk around...






So, generally, a reward (or bribe) is offered. Decently warm weather, of course, means ice cream for the Mommy, and thus ice cream for Lautje too (since Lautje insists on trying everything the Mommy and Daddy eat). Thus, the Mommy is made happy, Lautje is made happy, and the Daddy's wallet is not inconsiderably lightened for the walk home...
