Now who’s having plot problems?

“Momma,” Ren says, pushing a sword into my hand. “You be da bad guy.”

“Okay,” I say gamely. She holds up a crumpled piece of paper.

“And dis is da plane, and you trying ta get it, o’tay?”

“Right,” I say, thrusting at the plane.

“No, no, Momma,” she says, deep concern in her eyes. “Dis is a plane. You can’t get it. It way too high for you.”

I stare, blinking.

“But. So. What’s the game?”

“You just stand there wishing you could get it. And you can’t.”

Ah.

    Oh, to be a kid… I could pontificate on the many meanings of that game, but basically you’ve got a super cute and smart kid there.

    She could meet her match in a certain curly blonde, blue-eyed kid who makes up his own rules as he goes along……they would be cute together!!!

    I was at the OBGYN for my annual. After changing, I sat and waited while flipping through a magazine — Parenting, I think. Imagine my amusement when I recognized Karenna, and then you and Mary! It made me smile.

    Just want to drop a line and tell you how much I enjoy reading your blog. Your book(s) are on my Christmas list. You are an amazing mother and your family seems just perfectly imperfect (that’s a compliment)

    I hate it when I have restrictions playing make believe!
