I don't mind water at all and they dried me off nicely afterwards.

Father Raschle even let me check out the water for myself

and then they brought out a Christening candle, but they wouldn't let me hold it.

After the church we went to the "Villa am See" to celebrate.

and Grandma looked over our shoulders.

I sat at the end of the long table while the grown-ups started to eat,

If my arms were a little longer I could reach that glass of water.

Maybe I should have a word with Mummy.
