Over a decade later, I still think of my little girl, now a yong lady, when I see the green truck. Every family has its little games that evolve from everyday life. Or maybe it's a dance or signal you give in certain situations. Maybe you have a saying that no one outside your family gets. These things connect us in ways we never dream they will. They give us that warm, fuzzy feeling years later. Don't underestimate the bond these games and silly traditions make in your family. Keep playing!
What do you play with your kids that you'll remember long after they're grown? Is there a saying or a way of pronouncing words that is unique to your family? I'd love to hear about it!

We live about 18 miles from the church we attend. When the grandkids were small and spent the weekend, we played a game on the,seemingly, long drive home. I was a curve left, 3 hills, 2 small bridges, a firehouse sign, a bigger bridge, and a LONG sweeping curve right, and the church on the corner and we were home. I still hear it in my head when I drive home and the grandkids are long grown out of the game.
ReplyDeleteNow that's fun! And even if the grands have long outgrown it, I bet they'll remember it fondly. :)
