Our babysitter posed an interesting question to me this week. She was wondering what team Gemma will be on and she is certain the results will be revealed soon. She is referring to Team Mom or Team Dad.
This is the friend turned childcare provider who has now cared for William, Amelia and Gemma while I work on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. The kids eat lunch with her and I pick them up shortly after. The lunch conversations the kids have with her are always interesting and she frequently shares them with me when I pick up the kids. Our kids are the only children at her home, so they are her only focus AND her kids are now in upper elementary school which means she finds the preschool conversations endearing rather than repetitive and annoying.
William's conversations usually centered around how and why things worked and had factual information as their basis. His statements usually started with, "MY dad says planes fly because....." Or, "there are still dinosaur like creatures here. My dad read me a book about them."
According to William, his dad knew everything there was to know.
Amelia on the other hand, was more interested in the rules of human behavior and especially the people who don't obey them. For example "C at my school always with his mouth open. My mom says this is RUDE, so I never do this. C should learn to not do that!" Or, "my mom says you can't wear shorts when it is snowing outside because your legs will get too cold."
Almost every Amelia conversation centered around knowledge she had gained from her mom.
What side will Gemma fall on? Stay tuned.
