Show and tell — Waiting
Queenie is one troublemaker, always sneaking off to places she shouldn’t be in, doing things that’s not allowed, and asking questions about subjects that are not always the easiest to answer and explain to a 5-year-old. This often annoys her father Tyrone since he’s so busy working at the hospital, unable to keep an eye on her whenever she’s visiting; because of this, Queenie constantly sneaks into the Kaspers’ office and rummages through their stuff - mostly without permission. Johannes Faustuz is actually quite patient in dealing with Queenie since he’s a father of a Wunderkind, but at times he’s at his wits’ end whenever she does something so outrageous - like dumping the jarred Meerjungfrau into the aquarium, or this time opening his aunt’s package and pulling a private family photo out of it. And wanting to show it off to her Kindergarten classmates. But all that aside, Queenie enjoys being around the Herr Doktor and thinks of him as an uncle. - And “Papa Olaf” is Faustuz’s grandfather - one of the identical twins featured in the photo, not the young man in the center. —
