coming to grips





The Peppa Pig App (the one that allows a toddler to create some sort of art), is kind of fun, allows my own twinkle toes to touch the screen and select amongst a splash of colours. But still a toddler's attention span is less than five minutes after a brief brush with satiety it's next to another set of toys then run back and forth like a headless chicken. Maybe, that's just my toddler, other kids learn their alphabet or play the piano.

Kids are different. Every individual is unique. We shouldn't compare the running commentary of our lives on social media or just within the grapevine, the gossip mill. I know sometimes we get down just because others seem to live in a big house. Or they have a lot of kids and while our biological clocks tick and tick and boom!

But having 14 to 17 kids bring on the issue of sustenance, nutrition and education. I was reading about a rich family dividing their assets for their huge brood and it didn't amount to anything substantial. To make a realistic scenario, let's say a couple has four children? I don't know, hardships do occur to those who don't have much. I have a hard time doing the laundry of just one toddler.
