Too fast, too soon...

I just had a very productive and interesting conversation on AIM.

With Kouryou-chan.

Wow. Color me Dad.

Ael and I had our first one of those the other day. She's almost 7 -- how old is Kouryou-chan?

Kouryou-chan is four. Actually, she only had the conversation with him with my help. She had the computer on her lap and could read what he was typing, then decided what she wanted to say. Then I helped her with spelling and figuring out where the keys were that she needed to push. But still, it's really quite cool. :)

Indeed. :-)

Holy crap. I mean, my kid can't type anything but wrtafdsgadsfgatretyya3, but ... man, that's gotta be weird. I can't wait. :)

It's only a matter of time (years, yes, but all too few) before you run across the smut she'll be posting to the Internet.

Comments like that aren't pepsi-safe!

OTOH, you know she'll get it honest.... and it'll probably be literate and interesting, too.

It'll get better, and perhaps a little scarier.

Hmmm...there's alot that could be said for that, but we all have to unroll the road of being a good Father on our own. But, hopefully, when we get down the way, we can look back and see there aren't as many forks, roadblocks and under construction signs as we thought there were getting there.

Cool.
