LOL LOL LOL My 22 year old daughter was clearing out her room and she found a diary written when she was 8 years old. I was trying to groom her into an astronomer from a very early age whether she liked it or not it seems.

Gold. Just pure gold!

I'm going to cherish this entry forever.
She put it up on my wall on facebook earlier today with the caption
"I was eight years old, fair go mum!
It's not just me is it?
Don't all of us in here do it to our children? Something like a rule of living under your roof etc... "you will learn and be educated (to that effect?)
While I'm at it, I'll admit something else. Feeling brave today.

My Burmese cat, Chai who is ordinarily an indoor cat, is trained to come outside at night with me carrying him and not wanting to escape and look up at the sky while I point out to him all the interesting stars and he looks and listens intently. Normal behaviour for a budding astronomer I'd say.
