My oldest godson took me by surprise twice this Easter. The first time was when he said 'Yeees!!' when I asked him if he wanted to come for a walk in the forest. I usually don't stand a chance against the computer game.
Chatting away...
Godson: 'Which bird do you think is the prettiest bird?'
Me: Don't really like birds, but that is obviously the wrong answer right now so... the one with a big red chest...How about bullfinch?
Godson: 'Yeah... that's nice. I like woodpeckers!'
The walk continues. Hoping to see moose, deer and boar inspired by all the droppings...
Godson: 'Let's count all the animals we see in the forest! Ants don't count. And birds don't count either because they are too quick to be counted properly.'
An hour's walk resulted in one animal. A little ladybird. May be not much, but the nicest spring sign.
And the second surprise he gave me was when he knew exactly how old I am. I mean, I hardly know and he was spot on. It's a number I rarely use, and who cares about numbers anyway... His favourite topic (after PE) is maths. Figure that.
