So, I found myself thinking about Connor and Owen Fielding the other day. Just popped into my head, you know how these things happen. My first thought was, ‘Right, what are those two up to now?’
I actually spent a bit of time trying to figure this out. Did some searching online, typed in their names, looking for recent stuff. Where are they? What fields did they go into? The usual curiosity when you think about historical figures’ descendants, or maybe just kids from stories you remember.
Took me longer than I care to admit before the penny dropped. Connor and Owen Fielding… now. Hang on. It clicked. I wasn’t thinking of Henry Fielding’s actual family line, was I? Nope. My brain had mashed things up. I was thinking of the kids from that Nanny McPhee movie, the second one, “Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang”. Those fictional farm kids.
Felt pretty silly, I’ll be honest. Chasing down movie characters like they were real people living lives out there today. But it started me thinking about how these things stick in your mind. Stories, characters, they can feel so real sometimes, more persistent than actual history lessons.
Thinking About How Things Change
It reminds me a bit of when my own kids were small. Seems like yesterday they were running around causing chaos, much like those movie kids, actually. Now? They’re practically grown. You look back at photos, and it’s like a different world. Time just flies, doesn’t it?
Maybe that’s why I got stuck on the ‘now’ part for Connor and Owen Fielding. It’s that human thing, wondering how things turned out, how time changes people and situations. Even if they’re just characters someone wrote.
- You remember them one way.
- You wonder how they are years later.
- Even if they never really existed outside the screen or page.
Anyway, that was my weird little journey down a rabbit hole. Started with a misremembered name, ended up thinking about movies and how fast my own kids are growing up. Just goes to show how your brain can connect dots that aren’t even there sometimes. Always double-check your facts, I guess! Especially before you spend half an hour searching for fictional people.
