She got to pick out any one she wanted. All her friends were there and they picked out one too.
She knew that everyone was going to pick one with a stump.
But there was one without and she wanted it.
I tried to get her to pick another one, but she got sad.
I asked her why later.
"He looked sad. Everyone always wants the ones with stumps. And this little guy would never get picked. That hurts his feelings. So I don't like that."
She is the sweetest little preschooler there ever was.
Hmmmm...
What is something they love? Soda
What is something we want them to love?
LDS General Conference
How can I use something that they already love to help them build a love, hopefully a growing love for something so important, and kinda boring for little kids, such as the General Conference?
I'm going to entice them to listen with very large bottles of soda.
Is this genius?
Or is this just an eventual hot, sticky, mess?
We will see.
Without fail, I hear it.
Every pre-season my Sugar says, "This is the year. The Mariners are going to be great this year. I can feel it. They got this... they got a guy who... we picked up (insert some dudes name here) in the off season..."
Every season, a few months in, he's usually still pretty content. They're usually still doing decent. "If our bullpen would just... if we had a decent closer... if we could just hit the ball..."
Every season, usually after the All-Star break, he looks dejected. And he says, "Mariners are blowing it."
Every season.
But it's okay. We still get our hopes up every season. Because who knows, one time he might actually be right and the Seattle Mariners could actually win the World Series.
And he'd be right when he says, "This is the year. The Mariners are going to be great this year. I can feel it."
