This is, as you will readily recognise, a tac-tah. Daughter 2 drew it the other week and sent it to my mobile phone for Grandson, who is one of the world's greater fans of tac-tahs. The result is that every time I take out my phone to take a picture of him (which is, I must confess, quite often) he requests politely to see the picture of the tac-tah on my small unsmart phone screen.
This week it's my turn to arrange the flowers in church so we went down there this morning, taking Grandson with us. Mr Life came too because he wanted to have a go of the church's new whizzy audio-visual system. He's in charge of working it tomorrow and wanted to make sure that he knew how it worked. He took with him a compilation DVD of YouTube films of tac-tahs that Son-in-Law 1 has made for Grandson. As I busied myself with flowers, Grandson sat happily in the front of the church gazing at the two enormous and two very big screens, all of them showing the same film of tac-tahs. He didn't seem to think it at all odd. I suppose everything is somewhat odd when you're nearly 20 months so you just accept it all.
I fear tomorrow's church service may be a bit of a disappointment to him.
I think little ones are around technology from birth these days and accept as normal what is, to us old fossils, amazing! I can see why your daughter became an architect---very nice tac-tah rendition. No wonder the little guy loves her!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it interesting how boys love tractors! My great-nephew likewise. And his grandfather,my older brother, still talks nostalgically about Massey Fergusons, Ford Majors and two-stroke. I was particularly proud of finding a birthday card for bigbro covered with pictures of antique tractors.
ReplyDeleteSmall boys love large machines, don't they?
ReplyDeleteOh dear -- I hope he doesn't yell out for tac-tahs in the middle of the service LOL. DD2 draws a beautiful tac-tah!
ReplyDeleteLike Thimbleanna I was remember him out doing the vicar on one other occasion. ( so did he ask where the tac-tahs had gone off the big screens? )
ReplyDeleteDo tell him you know a lady older than his Annie who has her own old, red Massey Ferguson Tac tah, and drives it around the orchard.( would he like a photo of it? )R has one too and an old blue truck.( be careful with that one it doesn't always come out correctly with little people.)
He would LOVE a photo of it!
ReplyDeleteThis could be the birth of a new religion; all hail and worship the great Tac-Tah!
