There are some qualities that I really appreciate in kids and am fascinated by it. One of them is "thinking outside the box", they just do it naturally. I guess as kids you have the natural ability to think outside the box and be creative. As you grow older, you learn more and you are aware of more things, might be overwhelmed and suddenly you have to take classes to remember how to be creative.
Last night as I came back home from GYM my neighbor's kids where playing infront of our house. They are my favorite kids. So as Meghan and Bradley gave me hugs (I had to beg Bradley for one!) they asked me if they could come over to our house. So I let them in, put their show on and put their favorite couch infront of the TV to watch and talk with me while I was preparing food in the kitchen. I looked over and I saw only four feet dangling happily from the couch, so I felt good. As I was texting their mom to let her know they were with me, I heard :"Newsha Look!". I found Bradley standing above our couch on the edge and the metal table was right underneath!
Me: "Bradley, buddy, come down you are going to hurt yourself!"
Brad:" No I am not falling. Look. Look."
Oh God, I knew if I put a step toward him he would jump off!
Meghan : "Bradley, Come down Now! If you break Ms. Newsha's chair she will be mad and we can never play here again!"
Bradley's eyes were wide open watching me!
Me:" Well I can always replace a broken chair, but if Bradley breaks his head we cannot buy him a new one and that won't be fun!"
Bradley was hesitant for a minute and almost climbed down. Then he had an idea:
"mmmmm .... AHA! I can wear my hat and then jump!"
