“Het hoort erbij”

Loosely translated from Dutch: “part of the deal”

I was chatting with Ingrid, the owner of Café Hooi right around closing time. I asked her how things were going since it’s been a few weeks since I first visited (and she still remembered our last conversation!).

Hoe is het? — Aah, goed — Waarom goed?

Ingrid said she felt good when she spent some time with her newborn son earlier in the morning.

“Even changing his diapers?”

“Well, not so much that. But it’s part of the deal.”
