My youngest\u2019s birthday is coming up very soon, and we let her open a gift early, because boredom is the greatest opponent for all parents and the girls were driving us bananas over a lazy Sunday.\u00a0 To the credit of my children, they love Legos as much as I did when I was a kid, and I really enjoy putting together kits with my own kids; except when they squabble and fight over who gets to do what, things start to get out of order, and ultimately one will start spite-stealing pieces and sabotaging the progress of the other.<\/span><\/p>\n I had to tell #1 to stop sandbagging her sister\u2019s build, because this was a birthday gift for her, and that she did get to have priority over its build.\u00a0 In response to this, #1 began moping that today is a bad day<\/em> and that I am sad<\/em>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Then she began stating that she was going to write in her diary that today was a bad day and that she was sad, and mythical wife and I were a little perplexed at where she learned the concept of diary keeping from in the first place.<\/span><\/p>\n Moments later, she wandered into the kitchen, and I could hear her get a sheet of paper, the pop of a lid coming off of a marker, and the sound of scribbling as if she were writing something down.\u00a0 As much as her choice of words were being overly dramatic, I was proud to hear that she was sounding out words and clearly writing something instead of just scribbling the the doodles that manifest in her head, as much as I love every piece of art she draws.<\/span><\/p>\n A few minutes later, she brings the \u201cdiary\u201d entry shown above to us, and it says:<\/span><\/p>\n Dear diary I had a bad day my sister did not share I am sad about that<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Needless to say, mythical wife and I were quite amused at the excessive melodrama generated by our six-year old. \u00a0I mean she is half-Korean, and if there\u2019s one thing Koreans are good at doing is, is being dramatic.<\/span><\/p>\n But naturally, my mind immediately went in the direction that this was basically the formative seed of what would eventually turn out to be future brogging.\u00a0 It starts with marker on letter paper, eventually it will manifest into keyboard and monitor, and given the rapid advancement of technology, the tech of the future will probably just be able to read her thoughts and manifest words directly onto her future brog where hopefully she\u2019ll have more than zero readers.<\/span><\/p>\n But it all starts somewhere.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Even if it\u2019s from a bad day that she is sad about.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My youngest\u2019s birthday is coming up very soon, and we let her open a gift early, because boredom is the greatest opponent for all parents and the girls were driving us bananas over a lazy Sunday.\u00a0 To the credit of my children, they love Legos as much as I did when I was a kid, … Continue reading Dad Brog (#169): the future brogger<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[202,100,193,192,83,91],"class_list":["post-51352","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-brog","tag-brog","tag-comparison","tag-dad","tag-kids","tag-observations","tag-pf"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51352","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=51352"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51352\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":51354,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51352\/revisions\/51354"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=51352"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=51352"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=51352"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
