Fried up some chicken, mixed it with the leftover savoury rice mix and made parcels out of it, some with flatbread and some with leftover pizza dough. Did more laundry, very nearly finished it too lol. Watched some wrestling with Elder minipeeler. He said he wants to be a pro wrestler when he grows up. I think he's partly been inspired by how accessible, friendly and cool the guys at Lucha Fantastica are. I could picture him as a luchador in a travelling show, and I don't know exactly how I feel about that. Not that it makes any difference, it's his dream not mine. Miniest wants to be 10 different things and doesn't know which thing to pick. I said why pick one? You can be an artist and a vet and a cake decorator and run an animal refuge and design gardens etc. Look at Leonardo da Vinci, he was lots of things.

I used to work with guys who did pro-wrestling, there was a scene for it in Melbourne. If they won't take kids, else see if you can get him to try some gymnastics to build a useful foundation.

I love this advice. So much of what we hear at schools and in the workplace and society in general is that people can be only one thing. To be many things , but mainly being your own true self following all your dreams and talents , is a really good thing. ๐Ÿฅฐ
