Before Fisher Price and Mattel came on the scene, there were five stones. Recently, one of Mikey's best mates who's living it up in Japan came home for Christmas and spent the night at our place. He won Kayla over by first offering first his cellphone and sealed the deal when he handed her his watch. He even bought a little gift - the most prettily packaged set of five stones I've ever seen. Of course Mikey didn't know what they were for or what to do with them. Neither did Mikayla. But now, they both - okay, maybe just Kayla - love it. :)
Those were the days when play was as simple as jumping over ropes and a game of five stones. If not for those five stones, I might have just forgotten they ever existed. But I'm glad (thanks Daniel!) they surfaced and Kayla will get to find out what kept her mama busy during recess breaks.
Oh...and we just watching Anthony Bourdain's season opener on Singapore - chicken rice, chili crab, tulang, curry catfish, steamed shark's head and a very strange restaurant that has wheelchairs for seats (ughh - maybe they should call the place "Last Supper"). It's only made me hungry for home!
