My world has changed a lot. I don´t know it anymore.

When I was a child, we fortunately did not have mice in the house. The only ones I knew were Mickey mouse and Mighty mouse. I did have a white mouse for a day before Christmas when a friend gave me a a white mouse as gift. My parents made me take it back to the pet shop after we had spent the whole Christmas Eve chasing the mouse. Now we would be extremely unfortunate if we did not have at least one mouse in the house. At least, I need one. My granddaughter uses that difficult to manage thingie in the middle of her laptop to move the cursor along the keyboard. All that, while my other granddaughter, Sofía, is playing with her tablet. When I was her age, I liked to read. And all my books were made of paper. This new generation is empowered (another word we did not use). My poor daughter (who is not empowered in spite of being a judge) had to buy her eldest daughter a laptop and her youngest daughter a tablet so that she could take a nap for half an hour after work. I was not empowered when my daughters were small. But I was Mom. So I sent the girls to bed for a nap after their lunch. And they had to be in bed before the adult TV time started. Sure, sometimes they told me that they were the only people on earth that did not watch Dark Shadows. I said I doubted that and it was all. Now my grandchildren hardly sleep at all. I wonder if all that hyperactivity is not a result of that and the lack of a couple of spankings on the butt. Good morning friends. My morning thoughts.
