Philosophy…Bertie style
Posted under parenting
“Mummy. I’m really enjoying The Secret Seven but I’m worried about The Famous Five because if no-one is reading them or listening to them then, well, they’re not really that famous are they?”
I think it’s the 6 year old version of ‘If a tree falls in a forrest and there’s no one around to hear it, did it happen?’. I think I prefer Bertie’s version and I’m certain Enid Blyton would agree.
That’s very profound. Tell him that the Secret Seven are still secret despite loads of people reading about them, so by the same token, the Famous Five will remain famous.
Love the glasses!
More, More, More! I’d love an entire book filled with this wise child’s musings paired with his mum’s beautiful photos of him…this photo is fab…love the b/w effect with the orange glasses popping…perfect!
Very profound! Tell him not to worry, there’s a 6 year old in Munich who won’t put them down at the moment, so they’re still famous!
I absolutely love this. These little moments are the EXACT reason I blog because they can so easily get lost or forgotten and they are just priceless.
Well done Bertie x
