Conversation between my husband and my three-year-old daughter tonight:
Miss 3: Mu-u-u-u-u-ummy…?
Daddy: She’s gone to the moon.
Miss 3: No. She’s not. She’s on the Internet.
Daddy (asking just to see what the answer is): What’s the Internet?
Miss 3: It helps us. It has words and stuff. It helps us see with pictures and things.

I’m not sure it’s entirely helpful. But I don’t wanna disillusion children before it’s time.
Bear’s less articulate about it, at the ripe age of 2&abit, but already has certain expectations about me being willing to google up youtube vids of tigers, lions, monkeys, the wiggles, and a brilliant clip of people walzing to the blue danube…
Armagny, my Mum was asking how on earth she knew that you could get pictures – one day, we were stuck for something to do, so she named animals, and I found pictures of them… YouTube rocks for stuff to divert for a few minutes.
Gonna post the fave I reckon, it’s right here when you want a tranquil, slightly effette moment of olde worlde charm.

I like the focus on the French horn at the beginning (I used to play it – damned tricky instrument)
