Tonight my grandson is here for our weekly sleepover. I look forward this time and have some ideas about things we might have fun doing together. Sometimes it’s going to the train museum-in the spring and summer it’s baseball games at the local stadium. This week I thought we might play a little Harry Potter on the Xbox. Tonight Odie had other ideas…he wanted me to watch him play Minecraft on the Xbox or some cowboy game on his ipod. I must say that Minecraft is not a favorite of mine and watching someone else play when you yourself are addicted to the experience of vanquishing foe and destroying lego entities is not my idea of fun. So i found myself feeling a bit out of sorts when presented with those options tonight. I said ok with a huff, grabbed my book and sat down on the couch to read. Soon this amazing bundle of energy was sitting next to me saying “look Noni’ “watch me Noni”. The book went down and i watched. The next thing you know I have my phone and am playing Candy Crash (until I ran out of lives) and Bubbleworld, saying “wow look Odie”. Tonight I gained a new perspective on what fun is when you share with someone you love.

What’s fun for you may not be what’s for me….or is it?

Some day Odie and Neela have to meet. She teaches me the same lessons.
