JAKARTA - Sri Mulyani is known as a big figure who plays an important role in government. This 58-year-old woman is currently the Minister of Finance, a job that is always occupied by a number of businesses every day.

However, during her spare time or on break from work, Sri Mulyani took the time to play with her grandchildren. In an upload on her personal Instagram account @smindrawati, the former World Bank Managing Director invited her grandchildren to play balloons in a yard.

"Your little hands. Continue to reach and reach for the water balloons. Fly and dance. Get carried away by the breeze," wrote Sri Mulyani, as quoted by VOI, Monday, March 22.

Sri Mulyani also wrote that the moment of playing with her grandchild was the time she craved. Being busy dealing with state funds every day certainly makes her sometimes want to "take a break".

"Rainbow colored balloons. As beautiful as your starred eye. Spread cheerfully. Weeding my week. The weekend I always wait for" added Sri Mulyani.

Around 300 comments from netizens filled Sri Mulyani's posts, which were uploaded on Sunday, March 21. Based on VOI's observation, almost all comments prayed that Sri Mulyani would always be healthy, able to take care of her beloved family and country in Indonesia.

"Always healthy for you and families, ma'am," said the account @fransiscopedrico.

"When I see Mrs. SMI playing with her grandchildren, it's like not seeing one of the world's most influential and credible finance ministers. But looking at grandparent who is full of love and affection for grandchildren ..," wrote @dionosapae account.

There was also a comment that Sri Mulyani was the smartest person in Indonesia. @naa_rendra account even said that he could not imagine what it would be like to be the grandson of the smartest person in Indonesia.

Sri Mulyani is indeed very happy with the children. She even dreams of becoming a kindergarten teacher.

According to her, a kindergarten teacher is an extraordinary job. The reason is, the task of exploring the role of teaching kindergarten children is something that not everyone is able to do.

"Children have extraordinary energy. Starting from leaves, ants, stars, everything can be used as toys. They can also make toys. Children don't know the brand either, whether cheap or expensive can be used as toys," Said Sri Mulyani when interviewed by Putri Tanjung at the Ngobrol Sore Semaunya on March 11, 2021.
