Understanding time

Tuesday, Aug 13, 2019Tuesday, Aug 13, 2019 MikeBLeave a comment

Walking alongside five-year-old Chloe as she rode her scooter I explained how once upon a time there were no wheels as they hadn’t yet been invented. After I had explained the consequences of this she asked

“Grandad, were there wheels when you were a boy?”

The kids came. It rained all day.
