Grace #7 - Breakfast in Bed

We scarpered off this weekend, to my father's house, where there is nothing to do and nowhere to go.

Saturday morning, I was delivered breakfast in bed, by the five year old, who had made me "fire-toasted bread" - with supervision, she'd toasted a piece of rye bread in the fireplace. She was delighted with herself, and I eventually went downstairs to tell her father that this was the parenting moment I'd been waiting for.

I bet it was the best piece of toast EVER.

Why is it that nothing to do and nowhere to go becomes magical at a certain age?

I am STILL waiting for that moment :D

The last time I remember having breakfast in bed is when I broke my foot. And that's NOT an experience I'd care to repeat!

Sigh. Envy. Never had breakfast in bed (I don't count hospital meals wherein I had no choice in the matter). Not holding my breath for such. Sigh, again.

Sweet.
