Fairly odd parents

When our girls were younger, many kids came over to play. They liked to be here and we were pretty good at entertaining them. My husband used to fool around and ask them things like: do you want a slice of chocolate spread on your sandwich? or: I'm going to eat a slice of nothing! and then take a good bite in the air. The kids loved that and they were all ears. They must have thought we were fairly odd parents. We could tell that they were not used to parents joking around like we did.
I would ask those children to give the goldfish a drink of water. So they would fill a container with water and pour it into the fish bowl. Afterwards, they always wondered how the fish could tell the difference between the drinking water and the swim water.. lolz..
The girls are growing up. So are their friends. They don't come over to play anymore. Playing is for children... They are young ladies, not children. Beware of calling them children! They no longer play, they have sleep-overs. There's a difference! At least, that's what they say..
