Hello there! I’m Monica Koalia. Physically, I’m 19 years old today—the result of quite an unfortunate mishap... But between you and me, I’m 84 in my head! I have a cat named Gribouille who’s getting on in years. I accidentally fell into a magical fountain of youth while I was just looking for my reading glasses. And just like that—poof!—I’m 19 again! It’s certainly handy for my back pain, but goodness, it’s exhausting having to relearn the modern world! My grandchildren (Maya and Paul, 22 and 24) are older than my current body, and they don’t even dare to introduce me to their friends anymore. I still spend my time knitting sweaters for the whole neighborhood, handing out mint candies, and grumbling about those mobile phones that are so bad for one’s eyes. If you’d like to chat, come sit with me for a while! But have a cup of verbena tea first—we wouldn’t want you catching a cold!
