A third journal of personal musings |
 My life always continues to change and it only stands to reason that with each change, there should be a journal dedicated to it. |
Prompt: "Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them." James A. Baldwin What do you think about this quote? Do our children really imitate us? Oh definitely! I'm not a parent, but I've been around my friends who do enough to know that they know exactly what to imitate. They might not listen to when you tell them to pick up their toys or eat their broccoli, but you accidentally say "shit" or "fuck" and by the goodness, will they suddenly be saying those words. They even want to imitate in good ways too like wanting to vacuum or sweep or mow the yard. Sometimes even older kids will want to wear similar things they see their older sibling wear or even what their mom or dad wears. We all know they often imitate behaviors or reactions to certain things. I've seen a video of this little girl, probably would be starting school the next year or so. Shows her walking with her arms behind her back and some words on the screen roughly saying: "We wondered where she got this from until" And then it shows a grandpa who walks with his arms behind his back. It's really cute! |

you failed at that job, at all. You gave it your all and your time. Sometimes, we beat ourselves on others' mistakes. I think the mistake was with the management and not you.
