Part of our family lore is that a couple of years ago my brother (who has no grandchildren) was visiting our daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren in the small town in which they live. The town had a parade while he was there, and everybody was going to bicycle to the parade. Our daughter was getting some last things together and sent my brother and our then-6 year old grandson ahead to the parade route, with the 6 year old in charge of navigation. My brother’s response, “Wait, you’re putting the 6 year old in charge of navigation?” Our daughter’s response, “Sure. It’s a small town. He’s been walking or biking the town since birth and knows every street. And the town’s only 5 blocks wide and a mile and a half long. How far lost can you get?”
When our grandson was an infant I took him for walks in the stroller. On one occasion on of our daughter’s friends was driving by, recognized the stroller, and telephoned our daughter to report that a man was pushing the stroller (yes, it’s a small town). Our daughter was able to reassure her friend that was me, the baby’s grandfather and she knew about the excursion.
