During a social studies history lesson: me: Ok, so W., what is one way to find out about the past? W: Ask old people about their lives Me: Good, yes, but we usually say "elderly" people. Now, do you know any elderly people you could ask about the past? W: yes. You. (I was hoping for Grandma or nana)
HAHA!!!! <3 IT! Recently my oldest son (almost 5), and DH were having a chat, and Beau says, "One day I'll be Big and really old like Daddy!" LOL...Daddy is 26!
My favorite old story about me... My foster daughter wanted a dress for a school dance and had been trying to describe to me what she wanted it to look like. She said, "You know, the kind with the big skirt that stands out like you wore with the hoops". Oh yeah, back on the plantation I guess. Sigh....
Those are great. DS was doing a family report for a co-op class and we picked my great-grandpa. He was a dear little man who lived to be 102 and I knew him when I was younger. He told my sister and I stories of a time that we couldn't really understand since he was a teen about 1900. It was neat to pass those stories on to my kids, and to find family pictures of Great-grandpa and his family. Now, he was really old!! MT3
hahahaha, lol!! Great stories you guys! As for smacking 'em or hugging 'em, all I could do was burst out laughing We have a really elderly couple next door, and sometimes they go on (very slow) walks...so the kids talk to them whenever they see them. One of my boys asks me " they are so old....when are they going to die?" Children really are brutally honest
LOL!!! When I was teaching preschool, I mentioned something about me "being old". The little girl informed me that I WASN'T "old". "Why not?" "Because you don't have gray hair." "How old do you need to be before your hair turns gray?" "Oh, AT LEAST 21!!!"
