purple elephants, green kangaroos, and a tiny little zebra

By the end of this week I will have worked 27.5 hours. Luckily I work jobs that I enjoy.

Funny Fact: Blogger gives "scooters" as a suggestion for what you should label you blog entry.

I love kids so much. They bring out both the creative and silly side of me. The other day I was baby-sitting this little boy and it was lunch time he was eating rather slow and I was unsure that he would finish. So we played a game to encourage him to eat more. I would tell him stories about purple elephants, green kangaroos, and tiny little zebras and I would stop at the really interesting part and tell him the only way I could continue the story is if he took four big bites. It worked like a charm and he didn't even know he was being tricked into eating more. He just thought he was listening to a silly story.
