School Girl!

Anneke is a very lucky girl, as her loving brother has meticulously prepared for the adventure of starting school:
He has walked her through every step, creating his own teaching materials, providing her with homework assignments, patiently explaining the intricacies of 3+5 and 10-7.

The only thing missing: sunshine... and since rain and cardboard-based Schultütes don't really get along, the Daddy had to get creative. Praise to whomever invented cling wrap!

So, all's well that ends well! The Mommy and Daddy are relieved - another offspring successfully enrolled!
