So what was precious at 9:15 last night was driving me crazy by 8 the next morning. My “maybe” answer didn’t settle the issue for long, and at 10 or so last night, while I was in bed, my younger daughter came in to ask impatiently if she and her sister could have their adventure tomorrow, and where could they go. Then this morning while getting ready for school, the insistent requests continued. I told them the first step was they had to draw a map of the neighborhood and the route they would take. That gave them pause for a minute until my younger daughter said, “We’ll just go on Google Maps!”. I then started asking “What if” questions, like “What happens if your sister gets a bloody nose (she gets really bad ones)?” “I won’t!” my daughter insisted. It kind of went on like that for a while. The bus couldn’t come soon enough!!!
Here’s an idea. Let them walk around the circle thinking you are not watching but if it’s not that far I’m sure you can use binoculars to supervise for safety. They get their adventure and you get your piece of mind.
What was the final outcome? Did they forget about it, or did they get to go?
I’ll explain when I get to write “Adventure Awaits, Part 3″.
