Glimpse into the future
My mother-in-law gave us a whole pile of magazines the other day, fantastic for glue style art work for the kids. Sure a five year old with scissors makes me nervous but you have to cut the apron strings some time. So away the kids went snipping things out of the magazines, spreading glue all over the table creating their little masterpieces. About twenty minutes later my girls had big smiles on their faces as they showed me their completed work. My oldest (7) had one page of dolphins, dogs and cats. Not surprising as she loves animals and wants to be a vet when she grows up. My youngest (5) had three…count then…one, two, three…THREE pages of shoes! Not cheap shoes either, we are talking high end wallet burning shoes. Her face was glowing with pride and all I could think of was “I pity the man you marry - he better have one hell of a good job” However all I said was “that’s great honey” and pinned the artwork on the pin board. (Although my youngest daughter’s work looked more like a shopping list than art!) I think I had a glimpse into the future and only time will tell how accurate that glimpse was.

Oh! She’s a real girl! What girl couldn’t loooooove shoes? I think she most certainly is a Natalie Bassingthwaite in the making! hehehe! But, where does she get it from? Of course, we both know, it can’t be you! Are you sure she’s yours? hehehe!
She must be a “throwback” from a previous generation….I can’t explain it.
