MädchenTreppeStilltBaldJetzt. Or something.
I am proud of my kids.But I am more proud when they display some characteristic which I myself am proud to display; meaning I managed to pass it on.
Maybe the Germans have a word for this1.

1. It is a well-known fact that Germans have a word for everything, as this is more efficient.
For example, I once bumped into my neighbour, physically; and knocked a bottle of milk from her hand. It smashed on the steps and spilled over the edge of the landing. A young woman was manouvering a pram up the stairs backwards by herself at the time. She saw the milk and immediately thought of her young baby who would soon need fed.
The German word for this is MädchenTreppeStilltBaldJetzt. Probably.
