Games

My kids love to play "I Spy." Here is an example of how our version sometimes works (or not works, as the case may be):

(While driving to ballet...)

Ethan: I spy something orange.

Me: Is it a car?

Ethan: Where is the orange car?

Me: I don't know. I'm asking you. Did you see an orange car?

Ethan: No.

Me: Was it a sign?

Ethan: That sign isn't orange.

Me: No, not that sign. Ethan, did you see anything orange?!

Ethan: That is not how you play!

Me: Fine. I'm not playing. (Two can play at your game, buster).

(Five minutes later and 2 miles later...)

Ethan: I see an orange car!
