Reason to Be Glad

Elizabeth was pretending to be a teacher. Isaac and I were enlisted as her students (my name is always "Sarah" and Isaac has to be "Daniel"). As she read us a book, I decided to spice it up a little and pretend that Isaac was the little boy that blows on her during group time. I complained, "Daniel, don't blow on me. I don't like that."

Isaac, who of course was not blowing on me, gave me a strange look. A few minutes later, I raised my hand and said, "Teacher, Daniel is still blowing on me after I asked him to stop."

Isaac glared at me. Elizabeth put down her book and grasped his face in both her hands, telling him not to blow on me.

Next she declared it was singing time, and we had to sing with her about Canada. In my experience playing this game with her, I have learned that you just make up a song and sing it at the same time as her made-up song. So Elizabeth and I started singing about Canada. Isaac cracked up laughing at us and did not sing.

Elizabeth ran over to him, grabbed his face again, and sternly told him to stop laughing and sing with us. Then she looked at me and shaking her finger, said, "You should be glad you're not him!"
