Parenting Success

Tuesday, 13 January 2009

During a recent lunch, when Beernut was eating his churro, ZaydeGiraffe reminded him that–when she was younger–Tante Pepgiraffe was a churro seller at Disneyland.

ZaydeGiraffe: “Maybe when you’re older, you’d like to work at Disneyland.  Teens seem to enjoy doing that.  You know, they call Disneyland the happiest place on earth.”
 
Beernut:  “I don’t think Disneyland is the happiest place on earth.”
 
ZaydeGiraffe:  “Really.  What do YOU think IS the happiest place on earth.”
 
Beernut:  “Home.”

    Wow, that really floored me. As a child, home was the scariest place on Earth. It’s so amazing to me that your kid so obviously feels the opposite. Tha is exactly as it should be, no?

What's On Your Mind??
