Adults can be so silly sometimes


Battle-ready 2, originally uploaded by Robin.

This evening at the dinner table Evan asked me to help him with something, and when I was done his mother asked if he had thanked me. "Thank you," he replied obediently, to which I asked, "Thank you who?"

"Uncle Rob!?!" was his quizzical response, as if saying to me, "Hold on, surely you know your name by now! Why do you need a 4-year-old to remind you?"

After supper, while checking her mail, his mother clicked on a You Tube video link and then clicked several times on the video itself as it was opening. (Our Internet is incredibly slow here in Madagascar.) "It's a video, Mommy. You've got to wait for it to load before you can watch it," was his sage advice.

"Old people. They're so silly sometimes."

  2. Young people are so turned in to the techie stuff, aren't they? Nice way for speak to his mother, helping her in a kind manner.

  3. If only we could see life as simply and as positively as any child. I think we would have far more inner peace and happiness.
