The Games Children Play
I’m filling in for the Kindergarten teacher in the afternoons this week while she does Preschool assessment testing. This enables me to overhear conversations like this one, which happened during Free Time:
Girl: (holding two telephones) Do you want to play this with me?
Boy: OK.
They sit across from each other at a table; the girl picks up the receiver on her phone.
Girl: Ring ring! Ring ring!
The boy picks up his own receiver.
Boy: Hello?
Girl: Hello. You have a call from … the President.
Boy: OK.
Girl: OK. I’ll put him through.
She hangs up and pushes some buttons.
Boy: (confused) Hello?
The girl walks away.

I know nuthing! Nuh-thing! Oh wait, wrong Schultz. I’m pretty sure I played that same game in kindergarten. Only we didn’t have phones back then. We had to use bananas.
