The things you would never have known about

Being around young people and a grand baby introduces you to many things you never would have experienced otherwise.   I am now a regular Nik Jr. TV fan and can tell you all about the Wonder Pets,  Dino Dan, and Max and Ruby.   By the way where are Max and Ruby's parents?

It's amazing how much is out there and how many children know it all.   At Christmas a little boy that was visiting saw an elf on Cooper's shelf and said to me "please don't move him, he might lose his powers".  That's when I found out all about the Elf on the Shelf Christmas story.  Apparently every child knows about this story.   Some times I think we think our world is all there is and then you step into a child's world and see another whole side of life.  The same thing is true when you are around 30-36 year olds.   What they watch on TV,  think about the world, their ambitions are all fresh and new and you realize how much you have forgotten about your early dreams and interests.   It is great to be awakened and remember just by watching and listening.
