I just received the following email from a friend of mine. Here is what she wrote:
‘I wanted to share this sweet story with you 🙂 I hope that you will enjoy it.
My daughter Margot just walked in the house after an early morning dental appointment. I had e-mailed my dentist about the event we had with (you) Susan as she has 2 small boys who like chess. Unfortunately, they had a softball game so they couldn’t attend.
However, she (my dentist) forwarded my e-mail to some of her friends with kids who were free that night. One took her little girl who is 7 years old (Ella V.).
After the event the little girl looked at her mom and said, “Mommy, this was better than meeting Justin Bieber!” ‘
(7 year old Ella is standing next to me with the black shirt)
What is a Bieber?
Nice story, but it could have been told without the picture of Bieber. As a chess fan and a father of three girls, I’d honestly like this and all other chess blogs to be a place where I can escape from Bieber for even five minutes.
