I have in previous posts blogged about how fast my daughter Maeve learns things – words, concepts, skills – and after 7 years she still amazes me in this manner. Not only has she taken to Horse riding with some elan her English skills still knock me for six from time to time – like tonight when I asked her to get my Google Nexus tablet for me. Being the good girl she is she did – but it was turned on and she was accessing Youtube. “There you are dad” she says “I hope you don’t mind me hacking it ” she continues … “Hacking it” … right word and right context …. my you are learning – fast.

Not too sure whether to scold or praise her.
