I thought that I would start something new. I don't really have a signature blogging day so I figured that I would just make one up. I have a funny story to tell about today and it dawned on me that I could do this every Monday. Who doesn't need to laugh on a Monday of all days? We'll see how long it lasts. Today's story:
I work for a mentoring organization and I was matching a kid with a mentor today. When I asked him what were some things that he wants to do with her, he shared that he would like to play outside and learn soccer. This was a pretty normal response.
But when I asked him what some indoor activities were that he'd like to do with her, he cocked his head to the side and made a deep thinking face. Then, with a lot of excitement and enthusiasm, he said "I could run down the hallway and scream 'The British are coming. The British are coming.' Just like Paul Revere." Hmm. I can honestly say that I never would have thought of this.
Happy Monday!
ha! Sounds like a delightful hobby.
ReplyDeleteThe really funny thing is that he was totally serious.

ReplyDeleteThis gave me a laugh. Throughout history, races have sometimes been the good guys and sometimes the bad. I'd forgotten the story of Paul Revere.
ReplyDeleteI love it when kids become the teachers!
DeleteMy question is who wouldn't want to run around shouting that? I think I might do that next time I go to Wal-Mart!
ReplyDeleteWell, if I see a woman running around our Wal-Mart shouting "The British are coming. The British are coming," I promise that I'll introduce myself:)
DeleteKids are so entertaining. Adults need to get their "kid spirit" back.
ReplyDeleteI agree! I wish that I had "kid energy".
