GETTING OUTSMARTED BY THE NEXT GENERATION

in #family7 years ago

As a father, stuff like this is very encouraging to see.


Time and time again I'm impressed by my @little-peppers. They must have picked something up from somewhere, because they sure are getting the hang of this thing called life. Not only that, they are often choosing to do things wisely. One of my favorite things recently is that when I am working and putting things into a bucket, often the bucket is far away. I have walked over to it repeatedly, only to return empty handed and then repeat the process. On multiple occasions "Monster Truck the Pepper" and now "Pinkie-Pepper" too have moved the bucket next to me. They are so smart! LOL!

FILLING THE "DUCK POND"

Today when we went out to do chores, the "duck pond" was already full. Since they like to bathe in this kiddie pool, and sometimes even defecate in it, it can be a chore to keep clean. One day we plan on building them a real pond with some fish in it, but for now, a kiddie pool it is. Basically, because it is so small, we have to change the water out daily, since they not only swim in it, but drink from it as well.

Last night, the @little-peppers were doing their chores in a light rain. More rain was to come, and they knew it. Pinkie-Pepper suggested to Red-Pepper that they move the kiddie pool next to this small building, where some rabbits are kept. She figured that runoff from the rain could both wash and fill the pool for the ducks. This is why is was clean and full already when we got there this morning!

Stiff like this is such a blessing. Just like with moving the bucket, moving the pool saved us precious time and energy. I'm all about trying to work smarter and not harder, but I don't always succeed. Thankfully, these smart @little-peppers are there to help me out and show me a better way! Thanks children!

As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:

It is great when the little ones are smart and use their ingenuity! Great glimpse of time on the farm! Have you all named your farm yet? Suggestion: Steem Acres. Showing my age. Play on Green Acres

Great suggestion. We have not named it yet, but now I have the "STEEM Acres" theme song playing in my head... showing my age.

"STEEM Acres is the place to be!
STEEM livin' is the life for me!
"

Hilarious! If you make a sign some day I would love to see it. When my brother and I were very young, we used to sneak downstairs to watch Benny Hill. My dad would have killed us if he had caought us! The fact i am writing this is proof he didn’t catch us.
Anyway Benny Hill had a new place and they were trying to think of a name. He said, “How about passing wind?” You know with that British accent. Then he smile an said, “I like passing wind!”

Excellent idea of ​​@little-peppers took advantage of the rain and came up with the idea of ​​moving the picsina for children near the small building and thus take advantage of the runoff from the rain, sometimes children have better ideas than us hahahha. Beautiful ducks, in the farm of my family we have 5, they also have a small picsina where they bathe and drink water, also we must always clean it because they defecate, but they are beautiful animals. Greetings my friend @papa-pepper.

Thank you very much!

It's clear your little beautiful peppers will grow to outsmart you , indeed You are blessed and you should always thank God for your kids.

Send my grtings to the little peppers.

Muscovies? Descended from a wood duck supposedly. Quietest duck there is allegedly, but also very possessive - good guard ducks. As to the kids outsmarting you - would you have it any other way?

I’ve always heard good things about Muscovies.

Hlw @papa-pepper nice post Buddy. I should say you have so cute daughters.. Best of luck for them 👍

Hahahahaha, yeah very encouraging, entertaining to see. When it is green. It is Agriculture.. Love your ways of thinking and writing post. Ducks are very lovely birds to have fun with. Easy going. I love them... 🐧🐧@papa-pepper

😄😄😄

Dude I can only imagine getting outsmarted by these little rascals will only get worse every day :) Get used to it Daddio! LOL

Cool thingy this little duckpond! Do the ducks follow you around everywhere? I had a friend who had a little duckling and the animal really followed the guy around as his shadow everywhere!

They are friendly, but do not follow us everywhere.

Hello @papa-pepper

Those are awesome...beautiful kids and I am happy they are fast learners in what daddy does. My deep regards to @little-peppers. One in a million family! Cheers

@eurogee

they are very smart kids, they are also very diligent in all activities, such as helping @papa-pepper is always here.
I am very proud of you who have children like them who always help the parents.

Thank you my friend!

it's a fun thing for kids,

Cheers to innovation. :D

Yup, some people's kids... like your parent's kids.

@papa-pepper, that is awesome!

We can teach our kids a lot of things, but if we don't help them learn how to evaluate a situation and implement a creative solution then they will struggle in life.

You might not have taught your littles how to fill up the pond, but I bet you had something to do with teaching them to look at a challenge and find a solution.

Keep up the great work!

Two smarty's in the makings.

Sure enough!

Very educated post I like

live an ordinary living way is a wealth living, really!

Duck is very beautiful, I really like ducks @papa-pepper, upvote and resteem, I really need your help.

Kids with ingenuity and common sense... such a rarity these days. Three heads are better than one is especially when two of them are little peppers!

Kids with ingenuity and common sense... such a rarity these days.

LOL - Sad but true...

You really got very cute and talented kids @papa-pepper I really love to see their impressive stuffs each day.

Great thinking Little-Peppers! Looks like a good day for a Rain Walk!

Good point!

Very nice photo with your little peppers. You can be proud of them

Makes ya proud right :) your doing an amazing job as a dad

That's called growth. Your angels are so pretty and smart, no doubt. Glad to see so much happiness in your life.

Today, they are arranging for a self-filling and self-cleaning duck pond.

Tomorrow, they will be programming 1 second transactions and zero fees with the PepperCoin.

Nice! I've heard of this Pepper Coin before!

Pretty smart kids. They love and enjoy what they are doing.

Yeah, they are figuring out the right way to do life!

The taller one looks a lot like my niece, she is probably the same age

Interesting. This one is about to turn 8.

Haha smart little ones they are for sure!

That's awesome! You raised them to take chances and risk mistakes in pursuit of doing something better. That's cool.

Ah... you have Muscovies!! I loved my Muscovies. They are just the coolest birds! We had Swedish Blues and Mallards too, but these guys... I used to joke that they were like the Matrix characters-swishing their tales like black trenchcoats. I love the sounds they make too. And the eggs? Oh man, so good! Our male was named Elvis and he was a kick!
We're still getting settled into the new homestead, and some more fencing and a milk cow or goat is next on the list, but soon I'll have ducks again.
As for the Little Peppers, sounds like they've had good guidance from Mama & Papa. It's always so nice when you see your kiddos thinking outside the box.

The little-peppers have got the right ideas.
Well done guys, you have outsmarted papa again and made life easier.

Proud Papa. How else would they turn out with a father like you who is smart, energetic and incredibly amazing at heart. They are so adorably cute and charming. They are indeed a blessing and the joy of every parent. Well done @little-peppers. You are both helpful. group hug with Papa too haha

@ papa-pepper has a good family
