I was puzzled, but left her to it (I have learnt that this is the best way to deal with my ten year old). Half an hour ago she came downstairs giggling and hiding something behind her back. Mum and dad had to participate in her little game, which consisted of a piece of paper with an alarmingly scary-looking face drawn on it, and a rainbow/heart/pocket thingy glued next to it.
Apparently, it was a lucky dip. We each had to pull something from behind a the rainbow. I won £20, while the hubby won £5 (*snicker*). Alas, it was not real money, but the thirty seconds or so of fun (following around two hours of drawing, writing and sticking) was well worth it according to my daughter.
Ingenious, enterprising daughter you have. Still hasn't lost the art of having fun in relatively simple ways.
ReplyDeleteWonderful!
She does make me smile. *grins* She's usually to be found making something, or writing a poem, or making up a song or a dance or something. She's definitely full of ideas!
DeleteVery imaginative perhaps we'll see some published work in her future. Must get it from you.
ReplyDeleteHa! Yes, 'imaginative' is just one of the words I use to describe my daughter.Not so this morning though, when I literally had to drag her to school. I was well and truly Ellied...
