I had a new idea tonight, but I'm having some trouble wording it. Especially the bits describing how I should feel. So any wording suggestions, or bits of description, would be much welcome.
basically, you are 3 years old (or some other suitable age). But you're playing at being grown up, pretending to be an adult. And you find you're really good at this game. (Insert list of "you can do XYZ" statements about things that a 3 year old girl can't really do). And you find that playing at doing grownup work is really easy, and is an exciting game. Its really fun. And you feel so proud every time you do one of these grownup things.
But then there's something you can't do, too. I was originally thinking something a 3yo would have recently learned (writing your name?) that you unexpectedly fail at. But folks on chat suggested being ujnable to focus on "unimportant" things. That makes the game boring. Things like getting distracted catching up with your friends' status on facebook, or reading webcomics, are grownup things but they aren't an interesting part of the game.
So ... Any kind person willing to write this up and email it to me? (Unexpected twists very, very welcome)
Can you provide a better description of how proud the child would feel, or a few things a 3yo would be really excited when they find out they can do?
Or if I write it up in the morning, would anybody be willing to email it to me?
Thanks guys :)
