DR. MARK BENECKE: WGT Diary 2022 (46/60) – Criminal Biology? Kindergarten? Glasses? (3)

Automatic translation. Improvements are constantly being worked on.

In the WGT kindergarten. Do the kids there play with bats and rats?” Willy: “Under certain circumstances, maybe. But also with other things, of course. The nice thing about this kindergarten is that the kids see each other again and again from year to year, and by now they’ve formed WGT kid friendships.” Mark: “Do they look forward to meeting their WGT friends well in advance?” Willy: “On the one hand, it’s already the case that they look forward to it all year round, but during the WGT period our Fritzi doesn’t want to go anywhere else at all. You can leave the children there for up to three hours and then they should be picked up again. In this respect, the parents are actually relieved, which doesn’t work out quite so well with our Fritzi, because he would like one of us to be there.” Mark: “You said that you’ve been here so long that you’re already being looked after in the kindergarten yourselves. Do you want to do anything else at all or are you yourselves already just looking forward to kindergarten?” Willy: “Of course we’re also looking forward to kindergarten, because our Fritzi is very well taken care of, but of course we also enjoy chatting with people and listening to the music, etc.” From offstage comes the voice of Mandy: “And Lacrimosa is coming soon!”

We have not managed to leave the kindergarten and meet Mandy at its gates. Mark: “Mandy number 2: You just said, something is since you were little with us both. Tell me!” Mandy 2: “Actually, we’ve been following you around Medical Detectives since we were really little. There must have been five or six of us under mom’s parlor table.” Mark: “Did mom and dad know that?” Mandy 2: “Of course not!” (laughs) Mark: “Do you remember anything that you found particularly striking on the show as little kids?” Mandy 2: “Your glasses were always pretty cool! Those have always stuck in my head. And of course your tattoos!” Mark: “Watch more TV and learn about glasses and tattoos!” (Text & Photos: Mark Benecke)
