On the way home from Caroline's guitar lessons, she and Jack decide to play the, "What Animal Am I?" game. Okay, no problem, I get the directions...one of us will give clues as to the animal we are thinking of and everyone else will try to guess which animal we are. Got it!
Caroline starts off the game with..."I'm green." Frog? No. Lizard? No. Okay, next clue. "I'm close to the ground." Um, frog? No. Snake? No. I can grow tall or short. Huh? Caroline..."Grass!" Wait a minute! You said it was the "What ANIMAL am I?' game. Grass isn't an animal. Oh yeah.
Jack's turn..."I'm shaped like a foot." Say what? Caroline's guessing whatever pops into her head...dog! cat! bird! (Um, sweetie are those shaped like a foot?) Oh my, this is bad. Jack...a Paramecium! Goodness! Don't you think this game would be MORE fun if we all actually KNEW what the animals were. I mean, come on! Caroline won't get to one celled organisms for another 3 years.
After that, the game went more smoothly, and I was quite surprised at the clues they gave for different animals. My last one threw them off...1) It's known in some major cities as flying rats. 2) Bert has a song and dance named after it. I had to keep giving clues until they guessed Pigeon, so mine was kind of a dud, but hey! I got it.
