It's interesting to see how fast times change. Before you know it, you are all grown up and roles in life start to alter or completely switch. My friend and I were discussing how difficult it could be when you first realize you are no longer a child, you have many responsibilities and the decisions you make can make a great impact- maybe even globally.
As perplexing as that may be, it isn't all bad. This morning my mom came across an old sudoku book that had been lying around years and asked me the rules of the puzzle. I started off my day teaching my mom how to correctly fill in each of the empty boxes. It was almost as if I had a great skill that I was imparting upon her. Her eagerness to learn was incredibly endearing and transformed her into a curious little girl. She stumbled through it and found the task nearly impossible to do, but her determination caught me off guard. I couldn't help but think back to when I was little and she kindly and calmly instructed me on how to ride a bike. Before I knew it, she had finished her first puzzle and was beaming in the most modest way possible. Later on at night, she was teaching my grandpa how to do the sudoko and I thought: 'My baby girl's all grown up'.
Lol it was lame, I admit it, but I felt so happy for her and it was really interesting how for a portion of the day, the roles had switched. I guess growing up won't be too terrible...
