Automated Baby Care Is So Wrong

I prefer helping out with the old folks. :) I don't know why some people find it so amazing how patient I can be with some elderly, even if they keep asking the same question every few minutes. Well, I can mentally pretend to be in their position, and it's hard when every few minutes you think you're asking for the first time. I mean, you'd get upset too if you asked a question and someone replied a bit hostily and angrily. No sense getting mad or impatient with someone because it's not as though they can do anything about the Alzheimer's (for now).

My favourite part about seniors is talking with them about when they were younger. I love the stories about how they met their loved ones, the jobs they had, the games and clothes they did back then that my generation never knew, etc. It gives you the "human" side of history, the part that feels more real than any textbook could provide.

Maybe one of the things that bugs me about kids is that until they reach a certain age, you can't hold a conversation with them. lol Ah well. We're all different and some of us are better at caring for our elders and some are better helping raise the youth. We can't all do everything, even in a village.
