Turkish Tuesdays: Sihirli Annem (My Magical Mother): When Your Mom Really IS a Fairy GodMother…

        Last week, the kids declared war on  the parents privacy.  Who won? 

  (As I noted previously, the Youtube video has CCs in English and Turkish…), and having the Closed Captions available makes it easy to go back and read the words missed in listening, greatly speeding my language learning.  I hope it does the same for you.

    Last week, the kids made a plan to stop their dad and new step-mom from having another kid:    by not giving these adults a split-second alone together!

   But they forgot one important thing:  she really is their Fairy step-mother! 

My gosh, how do I sometimes forget that I am a Fairy!

And so… 

      off to sleep the kids go!!

Next week we will start episode 2:   ;

Turkish Tuesdays: Sihirli Annem (My Magical Mother): Will The Kids Win?

        Last time, we saw a woman owned business: Turkish Tuesdays: Sihirli Annem (My Magical Mother): Worker Owned Women’s Business Role Models …

    As I noted previously, the Youtube video has CCs in English and Turkish…), and having the Closed Captions available makes it easy to go back and read the words missed in listening, greatly speeding my language learning.  I hope it does the same for you.

    Now, with the help of a bit of very uncomfortable and not very specific explaining from Feruze, 

the kids have a plan to stop their dad and new step-mom from having another kid:    by not giving these adults a split-second alone together!

   Kids!!

Next week we will see if their plan works:   ;

Turkish Tuesdays, New Frames, and a Calendar?

Some ideas, like our calendar, or like women being business leaders, need repeating:

–

The previous year, 2016, has shown us that the entire world is in need of change, in particular in the ways that we see, or do not see, one another.  Cultural dominance, as  shown by the use of the Gregorian Calendar, is something that frames the world-view of all of us who grow up within Western/European culture.  To build a more inclusive and kinder world, we must learn to reframe our ways of thinking, change our perspectives.

One way of doing this is by watching and creating more shows which show women and other traditionally marginalized groups in positions of authority, such as Turkish businesswoman Güler Sabancı  on Sihirli Annem (2003).

Another way of doing this is to begin using a calendar that is inclusive of all humanity: The Holocene Calendar (El calendario Holoceno.)

Turkish Tuesdays: Sihirli Annem (My Magical Mother): Worker Owned Women’s Business Role Models

        Last week we saw how easy it is to misjudge surface appearances:  Turkish Tuesdays: Sihirli Annem (My Magical Mother): Things Are NOT Always As They Seem, Avni…

As I noted previously, the Youtube video has CCs in English and Turkish…), and having the Closed Captions available makes it easy to go back and read the words missed in listening, greatly speeding my language learning.  I hope it does the same for you.

    Now, we get to see another major character in the series, a bit like Hogwarts Castle for Harry Potter and his friends:

Betüş’s Cafe, 

where she is both the only worker there, and the owner, and always waits on her customers!  This is one of the things I love about this show -it provides strong and kind role models, especially women, that all of us can admire.  That role model being a working mother, especially, is good for society, in terms of representing a stretching of our norms that needs to continue.

Next week we continue with bolum 1 / episode 1, at 40 minutes into the hour long video: Turkish Tuesdays: Sihirli Annem (My Magical Mother): Will The Kids Win?  ;

Turkish Tuesdays: Sihirli Annem (My Magical Mother): Things Are NOT Always As They Seem, Avni…

        Last week we met some human and Fairy ‘bosses’ in the first 35 minutes of Bölüm 1/Episode 1: Turkish Tuesdays: Sihirli Annem (My Magical Mother): Jealousy is Not Love…

As I noted previously, the Youtube video has CCs in English and Turkish…), and having the Closed Captions available makes it easy to go back and read the words missed in listening, greatly speeding my language learning.  I hope it does the same for you.

    Now, Poor Avni is making excuses to talk his way into the home and search for magical… brooms? 

Seriously, Avni?  Adults (who are not crazy) continue to learn  multiple ways to distinguish between illogical conclusions and logical possibilities.

Turkish Tuesdays: Sihirli Annem (My Magical Mother): Jealousy is Not Love…

        Last week we met family and neighbors in the first 15 minutes of Bölüm 1/Episode 1: Turkish Tuesdays: Sihirli Annem (My Magical Mother): Love is Love…

As I noted previously, the Youtube video has CCs in English and Turkish…), and having the Closed Captions available makes it easy to go back and read the words missed in listening, greatly speeding my language learning.  I hope it does the same for you.

   This week, we meet Sadik’s boss, a jealous and unkind man:

“…and I will drink with the lovely mother of this useless man being married by Betus!”

He seems perfectly suited for Dudu, even if he is human.  Too bad both Betus and Sadik will have to put up with this asinine boss, for a while, anyway.

…

One month later, Dudu continues working to separate them, in vain.  She is closely watched by the Fairy President,

Perihan.

She has been friends with Dudu for centuries, but cannot stand by and allow her to torment people.

Meanwhile, Poor Avni is still watching from next door, and his wife, Suzan, wants him to see a psychiatrist, but he insists that: 

“I am not crazy.”

Next week we continue with bolum 1 / episode 1, at 35 minutes into this 1 hour long video: Turkish Tuesdays: Sihirli Annem (My Magical Mother): Things Are NOT Always As They Seem, Avni…  ;

Turkish Tuesdays: Sihirli Annem (My Magical Mother): Love is Love…

        Last week we continued with Bölüm 1/Episode 1, introducing the Magical  (step-)Mom: Turkish Tuesdays: Sihirli Annem (My Magical Mother): Betüş! .

As I noted previously, the Youtube video has CCs in English and Turkish…), and having the Closed Captions available makes it easy to go back and read the words missed in listening, greatly speeding my language learning.  I hope it does the same for you.

   Last week, we left off with Betüş at her family home, getting ready for the wedding, which her mother and sister do not want to happen, any more than her new step-kids: 

Her sister Eda was out with their mother, all morning, why?

“Mom went to get help to stop you from marrying a human man.”

Her father certainly does approve, but is not in any position to say much, as the dis-empowered member of the family (he is a normal human man who’s been turned into a dog by his jealous Fairy wife, Dudu…):

“Since you’ve tried everything to to break them up, why don’t you leave them in peace, now?”

And so, over the objections of both families, this Fairy (actually half human, half fairy) Lady and human man will be married, modern Turkish style (not unlike in France, as the civil ceremony seems to have come from): 

And since the neighbors were not invited (which is odd, considering that I was invited to the wedding when the daughter, whom I didn’t even know, of one of my neighbors in Izmir got married..), neighbor Avni spies through the window:  …and looks just in time to see Fairy family members doing magic!

Naturally, his wife, Suzan, arrives just in time to see… Nothing!

“What happened?”

🙂

Next week we continue with bolum 1 / episode 1, at 15 minutes into the hour long video:   ;

Turkish Tuesdays: Sihirli Annem (My Magical Mother): When a Dad Remarries…

I love the themes dealt with, in this show, like blended families (note that the Youtube video has CCs in English and Turkish…), and having the Closed Captions available makes it easy to go back and read the words that I may miss in Turkish, greatly enhancing the language learning experience:

First, kids may not think as their parents do, when a new marriage approaches.  They may also not say much, directly: 

Nope, the kids are not up yet.

Why?

“No, you know the problem, Mr. Sadik, you’re getting married!

The kids do not want a step-mother!”

Oh, this could be a problem, if they think that This is the worst day for them! That’s why Firuze doubts that they even want to get up, much less leave their room!

Hmm, so how will this widowed father deal with his kids, who do not want a new mother in their lives?

Next week we continue with bolum 1 / episode 1, at 2:33 / 59:21: Turkish Tuesdays: Sihirli Annem (My Magical Mother): How Caring Dads Handle Kids… …
