Good morning world, school goes back this morning so I have
Little Leo here now and will have to leave in half an hour to drive him to
school and this morning he wants to know how come I don't know everything since
I am a grown up I am supposed to know everything. He also wants to know how I
managed to grow up so fast, I said I didn't grow up any faster than he is but
he thinks I did.
I think a lot of children think grownups are super
smart and should know everything and get disappointed when they realise we don't know everything at all.
Leo said that I have been a grown up as long as he has
known me, and I said yes that is true as I had to be a grown up to have his
mummy as my daughter and he said that his mummy is a grown up as well but she
is not as grown up as nanna is.
I told Leo that he knows about things I don't understand
even though I am a grown up and that is because of how old I am, such as
transformers he knows more about transformers than I do and superheroes and Minecraft
I don't know anything about Minecraft because when I was a child there was no
Minecraft nor was there the internet.
He finds it amazing that when I was little there was no
internet nor was there any Cartoon Network channel and when I told him there
was only black and white TV when I was his age he was shocked and couldn't quite
get his head around it.
I am now leaving to take Leo to school, will post when I
get back.
Back again, after taking Leo to school I went to meet
mum for a cuppa and a chat and then a some shopping now home and ready to post
this.
We came, we saw, we ate your food and now we are going
back home
Love you mum,
My kids always freak out when I talk about my younger days... Maybe because I bring up dinosaur wrestling and such. I should probably stop that.

My mum brings up getting milk from the cow that freaks out the little ones oh and only having a bath once a week and not having hot and cold running water
DeleteYes, they live in quite a different world than we grew up in. ;)
ReplyDeleteSo true different but not always better
DeleteI guess I'm grown-up, but I don't know much at all.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
That makes two of us
DeleteWhat a sweet relationship you have with Leo! It's summer vacation for us here in the US. I can't even think of back to school yet! UGH!
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Joanne
Thank you I think I am lucky to have such a great relationship with my grandchildren
DeleteWait until he's a teenager... then he'll suddenly be convinced we don't know ANYTHING. :)
ReplyDeleteMy kids always ask if something was invented yet when I was a kid. Wait until he is a teenager and he thinks he knows it all. I dread that day with my kids. :-)
