Lately I have been observing an attitude that is repeated in young children, especially in my daughter who soon turns three and is dedicated to destroy the sandcastles that we have so laboriously built.
I no longer try so hard to perfect the battlements, make doors and windows or even mark the bricks. She is impatient because she says: "We have finished it, do you like it?", To show me with her kicks, assholes and swipes, which she prefers in her original state of a mass of sand!
It does not matter if they are castles, pyramids, ducks, crocodiles or mermaids, the height of the mill does not matter, although more emotion the higher (like when stacking cardboard boxes ...), it does not matter if we use mold or do it totally with our hands, In the end, what counts is that they are destroyed well.
And the faster the better. So if you want to have a photographic memory of your construction before it ends, you have to be quick with the camera ...
The bad thing is when it is dedicated to destroy the castles of others... If we walk along the shore, you already have me scanning the surroundings of the sandcastles at a distance to see if they have "owner" or not, because surely the little girl will fancy chafarlos.
So it definitely doesn't matter what goal we build with the sand castles, in the end it is also fun to destroy them.
The bigger, the better (the longer the fun lasts). After all, sandcastles are an ephemeral art and what matters is the good time we spend raising them ... and destroying them. Hey, I also found the taste of the building demolition affair ...
