This morning while I was sketching out some rough user interface ideas, my 6 year old daughter came up behind me and asked,

“What is that?”

I said,

“These are ideas for a user interface.”

She then asked,

“What do you do with it?”

I then explained that,

“any one of these could then be coded up and people could use them on the internet.”

Fast forward an hour…

As I’m heading out to my office she comes up to me with this:

My jaw dropped… as I said,

“Wow, honey what is this?”

She said,

“It’s an interface that I designed. I want you to help me put it on the internet.”

I just stared in amazement.

At which point she immediately started walking me through the entire app (paper prototype style), telling me how you’d “click here to add things”, and “click here to save”…

She’s six.

She’s never done this before, I’ve never even really talked with her in detail about what daddy does for work. But she just gets it.

Needless to say, I was awestruck.

Anyhoo… Thanks for letting me show off my amazingly talented little girl. Not that I had any concerns before, but now I know for sure, the future is definitely bright.
