Playing House

One day John and I were bored and we decided we would play house. We went to the garage that was jam packed with stuff that didn’t fit into our house and started rummaging through the boxes trying to find things we could use to set up our make believe home. We some hodge podge dishes and we carried them over to the ravine that ran along side the property. In early spring it would have water running through it, but it was fairly dry now. We set up house and decided I was the mom and John would be the dad. I was in charge of the cooking and cleaning while I sent John to the “store” to get things I needed to make stew for dinner. Amazingly, the same ingredients go into stew as in mud pies. You just add more water! We played house like that for weeks and after finally getting bored and having acted out every family situation we could think of, we abandoned the house, leaving the dishes behind and only came back every once in awhile when we were out of other things to do.
