Physical Comedy

Marty and I went on our first legit, nighttime date since arriving in Berlin on Thursday night.  We have had plenty of fun, daytime dates but not really nighttime ones.  Josie is old enough now to stay home with Benjamin.  She has our number and we text often to make s

ure all is good.  The only problem we normally have with her staying home at night with Benjamin is actually making sure he gets to bed.  He still is used to me (or Marty, but mostly me) putting him to bed each night.  But since it was Spring break we knew if he went to bed late it wouldn't have any negative consequences the next day.

Our good friends Fionnuala and Wolfgang invited us to join them at a comedy show.  She defined it by saying it was a "physical comedy show"  We had no idea what this meant here in Germany but we were game if it meant getting out and being able to spend some time with them.
We arrive to a spiegeltent that reminded us so much of being at Teatro Zinzanni in Seattle.  We get drinks and laugh and laugh at the two Kiwis from New Zealand in their very slapstick comedy show called Mad Office.

Haha!  Not so good at selfies.

Throughout the night Josie has texted me with a run down of what was happening at home.  Mostly movie watching which was what I told them to do when we left.  How much trouble can they get into while watching a movie?  None!  Which is why I told them that they probably won't ever hear me say it again but that all I wanted them to do for the next few hours was watch a movie or two.  Josie took her job very seriously and tried her hardest to put Benjamin to bed.  She lied in his bed next to him until he fell asleep.  She is such a good big sister most of the time and when it really counts you can ALWAYS count on her!!
We hopped the train and were back home pretty late by our standards.  It was close to 11.  She was very sleepy but very proud of her first real babysitting job.
It was a real win/win/win/win for all 4 of us.  I sense more nighttime dates in our future.  Yay!
