Day 24 of 30: Hall of Vertebrates

[nanila]

A comment on my previous post about the Natural History Museum in Gothenburg, Sweden, reminded me of a remark Humuhumu made about it.

She said it made her think of the natural history museum in Dublin, Ireland. She's not wrong: it is equally overcrowded with taxidermy, wood-and-glass cabinets, dated displays, and peculiar odours. However, it struck me that she's six years old and capable of making that comparison because she's been there (DW/LJ), and to natural history museums in other European cities.

I don't want to bang on to her about the privilege she enjoys too much, but dang, that's one fortunate child.

I think she is aware of it.

Thank you. I hope it is enough.

Fortunate yes, but also bright and reflective that she's thinking about past trips, making comparisons, and that they made such an impression. You have a good one there!

[nanila]

Thank you. I like to think so but it's nice to have external verification!

[cmcmck]

Privileged, but someone who is going to be well aware of the fact.

That's all good.

[nanila]

I hope so. :)

You are giving her an excellent childhood, in lots of ways.

[nanila]

Thank you. I hope so!

A good self-aware child, and one that will probably understand the amounts of privilege involved.

[nanila]

I hope that the future will provide ample evidence that you are correct. :)
