For no particular reason, I think about my childhood periodically. It was a lovely time in my life, albeit very short. I think after about age 7 (and for sure after age 9) I felt...mature. Of course, I look back and realize how stupid I was, but at the time I felt like I could easily take care of myself.
Recently, as you probably know, I've been looking for jobs. My mom suggested working with children and I realized that I can't connect with children....they're...weird. And...childish. I mean, obviously they're childish but I mean when a kid goes "lets play pretend!" I'm like "cool...uhm...what do we do?"
Its rather terrible really. Children might be in my future (not immediate obviously, but after college, gradschool and opening my own practice...getting financially stable, et cet) and it'll probably be better if they're my children, but what if it sucks?
On the other hand, I'm starting a list of children's shows that rock so hard that my kids will HAVE to watch them:
* electric company
* jane and the dragon
* sailor moon
* sesame street
* allegra's window
* kratt's creatures
* bill nye
* the magic school bus
* eureka's castle
* adventures in odyesy (not for the christian-ness, but because it's just awesome)
* and of course zoobile zoo
Sorry for the blathering.
