Can giving have an agenda? Sure: love.

I have a confession to make.

I realise, now my daughter is turning 9 in a few days, that I have been buying her presents with an agenda.

The presents I have bought her have been building her interest in subjects I love.

For example, I love fossils. Always wanted some as a kid. Ms 8 (soon to be 9) has an awesome fossil collection. And she loves dinosaurs and natural history and science.

I love fantasy and science fiction. I have bought her books and movies. And she loves dragons and fairies and elves. And magic. She dreams of other worlds and aliens and robots. And Magic, flying cows. What kid doesn't?

I love music. Playing music. Writing music. She loves music. Wants to play and write.

And I have taught her a love for my favourite game, an old-school rpg called DragonQuest. Dice. Paper and pencil. Imagination. Fun.

Is it wrong?

Seems like what other parents do. Give their kids a love of what they themselves love. A way of sharing, connecting. Loving.

I am certainly happier for it, and I think she is too.
