...not only in the air


One of the themes of amulets this year was about turtles- maybe because of the crisis and because they are supposed to bring money. But there is something else funny that happened.
One of my colleagues has a pair of turtles. She has had them for many years and so far nothing happened. But yesterday as we came into the teachers' room for break, she was very confused: her husband had called from home telling that the she-turtle had suddenly laid 3 eggs. They had been very secretive, so nobody expected this, now the "mother" was fussing around he eggs and my colleague's husband asked for instructions, so that the eggs were safe. We did some brainstorming, but nobody had any clear idea. Thank god for web search!
I hope the eggs are OK and the turtle family will soon have new members. By the way, my reaction was: congrats, so now you are a grandmother!
