The one thing my kid did asked me from time to time is that how come and why, and when did it started that I became a writer. They asked me one thing that made me think that if I write because I love it and that it is really part of me or am I the same as the others who may think of fame and for money? I love that they asked me of this and kids can daunting with what they ask and their logical thinking make me as a parent wonder of the many things they have in mind or felt.
I am old and my daughter, who was 32 at the time, wanted to know about all the different typewriters I used. She thought it was amazing that I used them from manual all the way to a laptop. Dang, I really feel old! lol @v@ ❤
I sometimes worry about the influence and the images I impressed on my three kids, they kept asking me political or historical questions. Then my eldest grandson started doing it…he’s now at University….studying History….and I can start asking him.
(It’s no joke when two under tens come galloping down stairs and say ‘Grandpa? How did the Crimea War start? Mum told us to ask you!’)
I’m already old, and my granddaughter is constantly amazed by my tales of ‘party line’ telephones built into the wall, black-and-white television, and ringer washing machines! I must be a relic! 🙂
My children already can’t believe that I lived in a world that did not have cell phones, ipads or DSTV. I don’t know how much worse it can get, Dan, but I hope I never have to tell stories about the Zombie Apocalypse.

I am already old and kids ask me a lot. Mostly about how it felt to live through things. (teaching 20th century world history, you know)
