When Narrabeen flooded yesterday, I asked my nearly-a-teen daughter if she wanted to go for a walk to check things out. She didn’t want to go: it was cold and pizzling, I'd made poor fashion choices (a rain poncho). I insisted, though, because I still remember the floods and cyclones from my childhood vividly, and I wanted to put some moments in the mum/daughter memory bank. I’d forgotten the best thing about Events are People. We ran into some kids from her old primary school who were riding home on their bikes. They had boogie boards with them because they’d wanted to “make wash that went into Commonwealth Bank”. Wading down a side street, we were accosted by two boys who were about eight. One, the leader, took a proprietorial interest in our progress and wanted a report. He reckoned his house was probably underwater because it was near the swamp, but he hadn’t had a chance to check it yet because he “had to help this guy with his place”. Goldie was with us, and she was pissed to see her dog park was a lake and the ducks had taken over. The shops were sandbagged and it was weird walking on concrete paths that you couldn’t see because you were thigh-deep in brown stuff. We wanted to see our friend’s street, which had been evacuated because of the threat of landslides. That was eerie, especially in the gloaming. On the way back, we saw two guys sloshing towards us, holding bags of stuff that they hugged to their chests. They weren’t looters - they were holding bags of hot KFC (they’d left a car on the other side of the water). “Finger lickin’ good in a flood”, they said, and offered us their chips. My daughter said afterward that she was glad she'd seen it. But, really, I made her go for me. I have this counter in my head these days of just how many times I will get to astonish her with the world before she cleaves and decides to explore it for herself. Anyway … :) #narrabeen
