Don't You Just Hate Kids?

A friend of my daughters was at a loss for someone to look after her 6 year old, after being let down at the last minute. Having no major plans for the day I volunteered my services. I was met with laughter from my daughter who wanted to know how I would entertain a 6 year old on the spare of the moment.

After 20 minutes of jokes, mostly at my expense, I was left with the afore mentioned 6 year old to entertain.

I have to say it was the funniest, most enjoyable four hours I have spent in a long time. We decided we were going to draw a picture and write a poem. I thought I would share the results...



Big fat elephant, big fat nose.
His favourite food is cheerios.
He goes to bed at quarter past five.
He lives in one big gigantic beehive!

Now can someone explain to me why it took me years to learn how to touch type and attempt computer graphics while a 6 year old can pick it up in four hours?

It's really fascinating spending time with a young child, being exposed to their worldview, listening to them discuss the things they care about. I hope you're able to so again in the near future.
