Duck, Duck...Goose.

Since the Olympics has started, the kids' favorite sports to watch is gymnastics and swimming…the 2 things that we are taking classes for (go figure).  So the routine in the house is to immediately move the coffee table so that Kapri can practice her summersaults and jumping skills.  On the other hand Micah sees this as an opportunity to play Duck, Duck, Goose (DDG).

The other night when gymnastics was on and we were in full blown routine mode, Micah was begging us to play DDG. With ZERO room to play this in the tiny area, I explained to him that we need to play it outside, but that we would have to wait until morning because the “sun was sleeping” and we wouldn’t  be able to see. That explanation held him off for ohhh, I don’t know, 5 min? So he came back asked again…he was disappointed to hear the same answer.  He then again asked 10 min later, only to hear yet again that we couldn’t see. He just wasn't taking this as an acceptable answer.. 5 min later he came back with this…

 “Mom, you see, we do have light. This is me, you, dad and Kapri.  See the moon; it will shine light on us so that we can see.  And see the stars (the circles) those will help us too. So NOW can we PLEEEEAASSSEE go play already?”

Apparently it was me that didn’t understand…duhhh mom.
