When visiting kids get accused of saying the "B word", it's rather funny seeing their faces and hearing their protests. :-) Saying you are bored is saying at least one of these things: A. You are too lazy to imagine. B. You are making an excuse for avoiding some work that needs doing. C. You're expecting someone else to provide your good time. D. You don't like yourself enough to just hang out with "you". E. It's all about you. <br /><br />Kids are slowly learning how NOT to focus so much on self, so they fall prey to boredom so easily. If we can help them see past themselves here, what wonderful training for a rich adulthood ...<br /><br />One of the best things my dad ever told me was "you bring your fun with you". <br /><br />Yeah, "bored" is a bad word around here. Don't get caught saying the "B word" at the Driller's. ;-)Jen Drillerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03350983513461851802noreply@blogger.com
