The baby girl in this video is a pretty accurate commentary on the future generation and their capacity to understand technology while failing to comprehend the simple things. Even at such a young age, she knows how to use her father's iPad, butflipping through a magazine is a huge challenge.
When my 8 year-old boy grabbed and held my hand last night it made me think of this. A fellow dad shared this with me and Iâve kept it close to remind myself.
SOONER THAN YOU THINK--
One day
Sooner than you think
The echoes of your child's laughter
Will have faded from your house
One day
Sooner than you think
Their bed will be empty
Their toys gone and their posters taken down
One day
Sooner than you think
Their messy room will be clean
And used for something else
One day
Sooner than you think
The house they lit up with their voices
Will be silent except for those soft sounds grown-ups make
One day
Sooner than you think
The basketball hoop in the driveway
Will stand unused all year
One day
Sooner than you think
The swing set in the backyard
Will be given away
One day
Sooner than you think
Your child's spot at the dinner table
Will be empty
One day
Sooner than you think
Your son or daughter will visit you
Just for awhile when they have time
One day
Sooner than you think
Your house will be quiet
Between their visits
But today your child is home
And they want to spend time with you
Put off your work
And take that time
Because, one day . . .
