Ainsley, Ben, and I are playing “good and bad” in the playroom and Ben says . . .
“Mom, I just videotaped you on my iphone. Now I’m uploading it to YouTube . . . You already have ten thousand hits. Everyone loves an angry mom video!”
Five minutes later . . .
“Mom, the police are at the door. They saw the video and they are coming to arrest you for craziness!”
Seriously. This was never part of my play routine growing up . . . videoing with phones, uploading, YouTube, instant access, “hits”, etc. . . . We played cops and robbers, boats and sharks, orphanage, rescue, house, doctor’s office. Now the kids play the same thing, but they have their own twist on the game. It is amazing our world is changing. I can’t wait to hear the stories about what my grandchildren will say when they are playing.
