I've been babysitting the homestay family kids, building Lego models, playing games (Worms Armageddon, Age of Empires II, Bejeweled, Mahjong, Solitaire, Rummikub, Asteroid, Alien Force, eSheep, stressreducers), and helping set up Zoom and Google Meet calls for their school.

Tonight I had a super exciting evening, as I set up a local server for MSN messenger.

The 9 year old can type quite well already, and figured out how to change her font, while the 6 year old keeps sending me nudges, dancing pigs, and audio clips yelling "MIIIIIICROPHONE". It’s great to have a local server with no minimum age limit (unlike Facebook, GMail, etc) and no risk of creepy friend requests.
