Today it was Daughter/Daddy day. Normally, people say Daddy/Daughter but that is actually a little silly since the Daddy really has no choice in what happens. We went to the parks. A lot of them. These pictures are from the public one where there isn't much for the little tackers like myself to play on but, this swing is fun.
I don't know if you have ever really thought about this but, have you ever wondered how parents know everything? No matter the question, they have an answer. This raises many questions in me because, I have a sneaking suspicion they don't really know it all. My parent's at least seem to be winging it a lot.
I wonder what happens when parents lie to their kids about things? What happens if a child learns that the colour of the sky is red or trees are blue? Does it affect their future lives? I hear some people tell their children dinosaurs never existed. I wonder what kinds of challenges they will face in later life.
But, parents tell children all kinds of things without thinking like "Be careful" and "Don't run" but I think they might not realise that a few bumps and scrapes is how children learn. A little pain, a lot of lesson. Some parents tell their children not to try too much so they don't get disappointed if they fail. I am glad Mummy and Daddy don't do that because I think I would be disappointed a lot in life or, not try new things.
My parents talk a lot. Like, a lot. Both of them. Imagine two episodes of the Gilmore Girls played over the top of each other at double speed, except with more beard. I enjoy it though and even though I am pretty sure they don't know everything, I know they try their best to answer all of my questions fully. They have chosen a troublesome path for themselves though because, I have a lot of questions.
Now, Mummy is taking me to the beach so Daddy can get some work done. Time to get sandy.
