A New Definition of Fun
Where are you going?
"Grandad is taking me to McDonald's, and I'm going to have root beer!"
[Pointed look.]
"What, Aunt Jen? It's just PLAIN root beer! My mom said I could have it. She really did...it's just PLAIN root beer!!"
Hmm, okay, well have fun.
"Aunt Jen, come here! [Motions me forward, whispers.] I have written you a note, and you can see it when I get back. It says 'You are the best Aunt Jen I have, and I like playing with you.' Do you think you will like that?"
I'm sure I will.
"And we're going to play tonight--right?"
Yup, while everyone goes to dinner it's going to be just you and me. Have you thought of anything fun to do?
"Yes!! How about math!? I have math princess cards..."
Sounds like a plan. That's how I like to spend my Saturday nights...brushing up on my basic addition and subtraction.
Comments
I do love the Janie dialogues. Perhaps, you could mix up the fun tonight by having her call some of these consumer 1-800 numbers, like in this article? ;)
