Understanding Little Children

[Patsy33]

My 5, going on 6 year old grandson, is in his Christmas play at school tomorrow. The school doesn't do the  traditional stuff, but always make it fun. He told me he is the Narrator. "Oh", says I, that's good" Then asked him, was he going to dress up as a shepherd. He says, "No Nanny, I'm dressing up as Narrator!" 😆 Can anyone tell me what a Narrator should look like??

Patsy @21.51 it's funny how some children can do this and others just look on in awe.

I was explaining to my grandson how his Mummy & Daddy met and how they went to the same school as he did. I related a few stories about coincidences, and how they met. He was listening intently, and looking very interested or so I thought.. Then suddenly, he looked at me very seriously and said, "You're boring me now, Nan"😆😅

I am reminded of my younger daughter, who landed the part of the Archangel Gabriel.  The status was felt a little too keenly and she bossed and bullied the 'ordinary' angels unmercifully!!!

I told my class once about something I had seen on my way to work that morning, one little voice piped up, 'Miss, where do you work?'

My then eight-year-old son came home from school one day and asked, 'Mum, did you used to be a gorilla?' 'No,' I spluttered, 'Why?' He explained that his teacher had been telling the class that some people believed humans were descended from monkeys, apes etc 'a long, long, long time ago' and I, apparently, had been around for a long,long, long time.

Patsy @ 22.04 That's really funny.

When I was narrator back in primary school,( too plain for Mary but too loud for a minor castmember) I had a plain grey 'robe'

Oh, I used to love the annual nativity play  - and it was that, even it was called The Lonely Snowman or The Naughty Sheep. We always ended with the Nativity tableau and not a dry eye in the house. Memories..... third king tripping over the top step and his 'gold' making a perfect arc and landing on baby Jesus's face in the crib. King turning to the audience "Cor, did you see that, goal!" A particularly trying shepherd who got bored and was picking his nose. Finger withdrawn with a large deposit on the end, he looked round for somewhere to wipe. He and the shepherds had the same idea. As he advanced the shepherds retreated until they were virtually standing on each others shoulders on the edge of the stage. The child's mother thought we should keep it in as it was funny........

Never a cross word..... similar vein to the gorillas. We were going through the events of Holy Week to a group of Y6. Cor, miss, you know a lot about this, were you there? One or two had the cheek to laugh!

My wife and I took our two young sons to the Natural History Museum in Kensington when they were about 6 and 4 years old. We were walking along the Evolution Gallery where there were glass cases with apes leading up to a figure of a modern man.The kids werew ahead of us and one of them shouted back to us,'Mummy,quickly, there is a man here with a willy just like daddys'. As I was catching up a middle aged looking lady turned around and gave me what appeared to be a nod of approval with a wry grin.I wished the ground could swallow me up there and then.  😊

Just watched Grandson in afternoon performance. We were so proud of him, not only was he a narrator he played the part of King, last minute, as little boy that should have played the part was poorly. They were all good. Got lots of film 😀

Ah, memories, memories to be tied up with ribbon and kept for ever.....
