Quinlan told me yesterday, that when they play alone its boring, but with me there it feels so real.
Got me thinking.
The truth is, I use them as my pawns, to create stories. And as I tell them whats going on, and explain briefly what whatever we're battling/defending/running-away-from looks like.
I make a view point for everyone.
Like how Critter is gonna be attacked by a massive spider that's about to eat him.
Or how Trenton was about to be sliced by a orc.
And I put it into the game, and yes, it feels so real.
I get into it, And whatever I am at the time, I actually become.
Like if I'm the leader, I yell and shout encouragements and directions.
Or I become a Ganator (A creature I made up.) And I toss kids around, and bellow, swinging a piece of wood as a club.
It seems very real to me.
I'm still a 10 year old at heart I guess.
And I do love playing with those grand kids. :D
Play on rockers!
Love, The Paina
And the grandkids love playing with you.
ReplyDeleteKeep doing it. At least until you're forty.
Yep. Till your forty. Now you're stuck. ;)
ReplyDeleteHeck, longer than forty. Imagination never dies as long as you use it!
ReplyDeleteThat's totally what I used to do for you little people... Lin, Dan, Pat, you, Tiana.. not so much Critter. He was sooo little. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, keep it up. Don't grow up and figure you're too "mature" to do it. :)
