Lessons from a "children song" / Bir "cocuk sarkisindan" dersler

Su anda Harvard'da calisan kuzenimi ziyaret etmek icin Boston'dayim. Evet, kendisi gayet zekidir. Ayrica kendisinin 2 yasinda dunya tatlisi bir oglu var (masallah). Tabii ki kucuk afacan ailenin tek odagi durumunda su an. Sonuc olarak evde en fazla izlenen kanal, Nickeladeon Jr.

Bu kanalda bir sarki duydum bugun. Iki cizgi filmin arasinda elinde gitariyla genc bir kiz cikip bir "cocuk sarkisi" soyledi:

"Kusursuz degilim, ama elimden gelenin en iyisini yapiyorum.

Kusursuz degilsin, ama seni gene de seviyorum."

Hayattaki ugras ve iliskilerimizin iki cumle icinde ne guzel bir ozeti. Ya da olmasi gerektigi halinin.

Right now I'm in Boston, visiting my cousin who works for Harvard School of Public Health. Yes, he's quite smart. And he also has a 2-year-old-and-amazingly-cute son (masallah). Not surprisingly, the little brat is the number one focus for the family. As a matter of fact, the only TV channel they watch most of the time is Nickelodeon Jr.


I heard a song today in this channel. Between two cartoons, there was a "music time" where a young lady took her guitar and played a "children song":


"I'm not perfect, but I do my best.
You're not perfect, but I love you as you are."

Our most memorable efforts and relationships summarized in two sentences. Or summarized the way they should be.
