Today I was walking back from the library and I saw three little kiddywinkies trying to make a 'leafcastle' with a bucket and spade and pile of soggy leaves they had found at the bottom of a drainpipe. They were absolutely loving it, especially when one of them found a worm and they were all giggling and going to pick it up and then not picking it up and screwing up their noses and going 'ewwwwwwwwwwwww' and stuff...
I bloody love kids! They're BRILLIANT!!
These days, though, (and I'll admit it's probably a sign that I'm getting old) it's always with a tinge of sadness that I watch them doing that kind of stuff, 'cos the 'optimum age' at the top end seems to get lower and lower every year. Don't you think the world would be a nicer place if the worm and leafcastle years lasted a bit longer, and the fags and cider years kicked in a bit later? Ho hum. Sigh.
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww....
