Family Life From the Eyes of a Six Year Old


Earlier this week we had the Open House at school. When I went into Leo's class the teacher had me sit at his desk and this paper was lying on it for us to read. Leo wrote this himself and drew the picture. The writing says:

"I like my mom and my dad. My mom and dad play tickle monster."

The game tickle monster is a very elaborate game with complex rules. It involves mom and dad running around the house trying to catch the kids. The kids must run as fast as they can to avoid getting tickled. The game ends when either a kid or parent collapses, whichever happens first. Isn't it always interesting to see your family through the eyes of your kids. The drawing shows the couch in our sun room, which plays a very important part in the game because this is the safe place for the kids to go. Of course they only get 10 seconds to rest!

  2. Thank you for the explaination of the game - I had visions of many things with the statement - "mommy and daddy play tickle monster"!:)
    Love,
