a girl of her time
When we were on vacation, we spent a lot of time in the pool. At one point, we were playing the ‘heave mom off the raft’ game, and after I was dunked repeatedly, the Bee got up on the raft. I started swimming toward her, saying, “I’m a raft pirate. Is there someone on a raft? I need to dunk them!” The Bee thought the concept of raft pirates was hilarious, and swam around the pool shouting, “I’m a raft pirate, I’m a raft pirate.” And then, in a burst of 21st Century kid-dom, she said, “For more information, visit www.raftpirates.com.”

Hahaha! That really might be one of the cutest things I’ve ever heard in my life. The Bee is truly a child of her times. Thanks for the laugh, LM. I needed that!

LOL! What a kid! Their generation really is growing up tapped into the web… and we’ll be sitting around saying, “I can remember when the Internet was *brand new*, and all you could do with it was read text…” ( in our best crotchety old person voices).

Oh, this made me laugh.
When my son was 3 and started watching TV, one of his first questions to me was, “What’s ‘dot org’?” From watching PBS Kids.
