You never EVER stop learning!

This statement never hits harder than when I speak with kids (or hear stories about them).

My mum, who is the Head Teacher of the Early Childhood wing at TAFE/Director of the Early Childhood Centre as well as a Professor in Early Childhood studies at the University of Western Sydney, Australia, told me about a conversation she had with four year old Joel one morning.

Mum: What’s the matter Joel, you look unhappy?

Joel: I am not in a good mood.

Mum: Oh, did you get out from the wrong side of the bed this morning?

Joel: Well that’s a silly question. There’s only one side of my bed so how am I supposed to get out from the wrong side of it? Adequate roll of large blue eyes in obvious disdain for adults incomprehensive and useless queries.

I’m a Girl, you’re a Boy …

This has supposedly been my quirky retort to any argument I couldn’t quite solve since I was a child, having used it on my granddad at the ripe age of three or so when he was unable to comprehend something that was obviously extremely pertinent to me at the time I was “discussing” my stance.

Yesterday, I found that this simple statement still often makes sense in many imperative circumstances. Please allow me to explain:

1. Arguer – “Why do you need as many handbags as you do?”

My answer – “You wouldn’t understand – I’m a girl, you’re a boy”

2. Arguer – “Why do you always have to be so melodramatic?”

My answer – “You wouldn’t understand – I’m a girl, you’re a boy”

3. Arguer – “Why do you always read between the lines when I tell you something I believe is really quite simple?”

My answer – “You wouldn’t understand – I’m a girl, you’re a boy”

4. Arguer – “Why do you always think you’re smarter than me?”

My answer – “You wouldn’t understand – I’m a girl, you’re a boy”

I have more, but I think you get the gist 😀

Have a wonderful weekend my “sweet as pie” everybody-ies!!
