Wilco Worshipper Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 So my 10 yr old daughter has the latest Jeff Kinney book the "Do-It-Yourself" one while she's waiting his 3rd edition to 'A Wimpy Kid'. Today she asks me how old I was when my father died. I told her I was 11. I asked "Why?". She informed me how there's a part in the book where it asks you if you could go back in time where would you go. She wrote "to my Mom's childhood to give her father the medicine he needed so he wouldn't die"... I was completely overwhelmed and speechless. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Party @ the Moontower Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Great story girl. I would love to go back in time and visit myself at various ages and enjoy my loved ones that have passed. Sometimes I reget having Olly so late in life because she will lose so many family members at a much younger age than I did. I had Olly just a few years ago @ 34, my mom had me at 15. I had 9 grandparents alive when I was born! If only we had more camera use and internet then. I have only a handfull of old pics to show the kid. Olly is only 3 and gets on Myspace & Facebook. SHe doesn't care for VC much, no pics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bjorn_skurj Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Aww. I kind of lean toward the "people are born rotten and just get worse, typically" theory of human nature, but to hear something like that makes me wonder if there is not some innate good in us.
