Something Fun to Do -Part 2


Lexi survived her first day of high school. The child development class we went to ended up having about 8 or 9 babies show up. The girls in the class had pre-written questions that they came around and asked all the moms. They were pretty generic questions about baby development. Most of my conversations went like this:
Abby: Hi!
Shy Student: um, hi.
A: So di dyou have anything you wanted to ask me?
SS: Um, yeah. (deep breath) Howoldisyourbaby?whatisyourbaby’sdiet?howlongdotheysleep?whatisyourbabiesfavoritetoy?doesyourbabycry?

As I respond, the student frantically scribbles down answers, mumbles thanks and moves on to the next mom.

Still, it was a pretty fun morning and Lexi managed to keep a smile on her face despite missing a morning nap.

    It’s unfortunate that they chose to neuter the interaction by having the kids pre-write the questions and force them to ask all of them. Usually the best, most meaningful interaction isn’t scripted, you know?
