29 may 10...Kids Nowadays

dEaR jUmJuM...

kids nowadays!

am babysitting my cousins- 6 and 9 year old girl and boy,

and i realised that all they did the whole morning was playing with their DS, gameboy, computer and watching tv.

aideeee.

they cant seem to entertain themselves in any OTHER way!

they turned down my offer to draw or read something educational...

so i set a compulsory half hour break from any electronic screen at hour intervals.

which got me thinking- when i was young we didnt have all this tech-y stuff at our disposal!

we had to entertain ourselves!

in my case, three cartoons a day would have earn you a scolding..

which was why i used to draw a lot.

and write stories.

and read tons of Enid Blyton.

and make a "home" out of the sofas, pillows and blankets.

and draw on my barbie dolls.

and line my toy cars into perfectly straight lines with "monitors" at both ends.

MUCH more holistic, if you ask me =)

i pity them..

Enemy turns friend.

oh dear.

i haven't updated in almost half a year!!

this has got to be a short one as my mum will kill me if she sees me on the comp now @@

okay so today i learned that sometimes you will turn around, look back at the person you see behind you- you in the past......and laugh.

there was these two people that i didn't really get along with like, 2 years ago..

and back then we were sworn enemies..i always thought that i'll never ever be able to understand, much less forgive them.

and then last night i while i was talking with my dad on the phone and mentioned one of them, my mind went, "hey! we used to hate each other!!"

so yeah. i guess gradually, over time- without me noticing it, quarrels and rows were forgotten, and somewhere along the line we forgave each other.

the end =)
