Looks like eyes are about to make the race, ey?
@PaintItPretty: Sorry my dear, apart from me being taken, I would have to cheat and buy myself a pair of brown contact lenses first. Mind you, I recently grew a beard again and found that to be greying enourmously, in fact, it is more white then grey, while the hair on my head remains the same colour.
Children are the greatest invention ever. Not only are they our very own way to immortality but also teaching them to be inquisitive and want to learn about life, the universe and everything must be the single most rewarding experience anybody can ever make.
I've never tried to 'steer' our daugthers towards anything that I might be interested in but rather took all the time required to play along with the various stages of inquisitiveness. Something that seems to have done the trick I think. Our youngest is still the single most inquisitive person I have met in a long time and her older sister, allthough much of her life is taken up by looking after her three sons is almost always ready to jump onto their bandwaggon, though there are of course times when she is plain tired and wants them to get on with it themselves.
@Road: I don't know, maybe it is someone that 'makes you complete', such as in the saying that 'opposites attract'.
In any case, I believe this might prove to be something quite different to each and everyone of us, with the exeption of some underlying principles that we may or may not be able to generally agree upon.
For more I'll be passing the torch, so to speak, to the next poster.
