My sister had this on her Starbucks cup this morning…
“All children need a laptop. Not a computer, but a human laptop.
Moms, dads, grannies and grandpas, aunts, uncles — someone to hold
them, read to them, teach them. Loved ones who will embrace them and
pass on the experience, rituals and knowledge of a hundred previous
generations. Loved ones who will pass to the next generation their
expectations of them, their hopes, and their dreams.”
-Colin Powell
it’s so true. fiona is a lucky little girl (as are her parents) to have so many loved ones around to be her “laptop”. There is so much to teach her, we couldn’t possibly do it all on our own.
