Parent College: Module 1 - a child observes and remembers

We have been up in Stoke Newington being grandparents to our two years old granddaughter and to visit our granddaughter's Mummy, our daughter, and her Daddy, our daughter's partner.

On Friday evening we walked back to their home in Stoke Newington Church Street after enjoying an early dinner at Wolf, an excellent Italian  restaurant in Stoke Newington High Street. It was our first visit to this restaurant. Previously we have always dined at Il Bacio in Church Street but sadly it closed down just before Christmas.

As we passed the Rose and Crown, just across from the town hall, our granddaughter eagerly pointed into the pub and cried out, "I go in there with Daddy!" Even at her tender age our granddaughter's remark was subtle enough to imply she was referring to more than one occasion.

"What's all this about Daddy?" asked Mummy.

Daddy, looking at his wee daughter, complained "I thought we were on the same team! Why are you grassing me up like this?"

Laughter broke out among the adults and a little girl smiled happily that she had said something funny, yet somewhere in that smile there was a sense of a new found potency.



ps  For Nanna on her birthday.
