When I was your age

Every time I tell Gwenchik that when I was her age I used to do this or that without much assistance from my parents ...
Gwen: Of course, you did it by yourself. Life in Russia was really hard, right?
...
Not sure where she got this from, as my life was actually really easy

Mother's Day

What a lovely surprise -- Gwenchik and George prepared a feast for me in a finely decorated room with beautiful cards, actual long letters listing my many virtues, fireplace and presents :)
