Google

Yesterday I found Matthew sitting at the computer. This is not unusual. The unusual part was there was no screaming at the screen whilst playing some silly game. This morning he was perusing pictures of whales. When he saw me he called me over to show me what he had found. He had up pages and pages of whales. He clicked through a few, telling me the name of the whale (like Orca not willy!). I asked him how he found them. He rolled his eyes at me and said "Google" (I'm sure you can all imagine the tone of his voice as I'm sure everyone has used the same tone when their parents have asked something stupid!). I then asked him to show me how he had done it and sure enough he just types (with one finger stabbing mind you! So male!) "Whales" into the search engine! So of course I asked him how he learnt that. His first answer was that he just knew it but it turns out a friend from school showed him!
I can't believe how quickly he is growing up! I cant believe how smart he is! We need to hurry up and get some filters on the computer!
It gets even better. Running in the door after being shopping with his Dad, Matthew burst in shouting "Yay, time for more research!" His nerdy father couldn't be more proud!
