This week ONE is attending basketball camp at a local college. It is important to note that she is extremely familiar with this college, its campus and many of the athletic staff (including the women's basketball players and coaches) as we are active supporters.She loves camp, but was a little apprehensive before her first day. This led to the first gem of the week. She was trying to get all of the facts and asking a million and one questions when she asked me if the camp was going to be in the gym or in the woods. I will admit, it took me a bit to figure out what she was asking but when I did I couldn't help but laugh.
Gem number two was a bit more serious. ONE has been very attentive to all of the coverage of Michael Jackson's death. We pass a cemetery on our way home from basketball camp. So today we played twenty questions on death. From how do people die, how do they get in the ground, why do we put people in the ground, it looks like a lot of work. But the comment that had me laughing was when she asked "Where to you buy such big shinny rocks to put on the dead people, I don't remember seeing anything like that at Walmart? I think I need to expand her shopping horizons:)

Ha ha ha - I love it! I remember when I was a kid and my dad first mentioned "basketball camp" I had visions of the woods and cabins too.
ReplyDeleteThat is great! Don't give them any ideas or Walmart may start carrying them. LOL
ReplyDeleteKids are so fearless about the death questions. It gets harder as they get older.
