Travis has been doing a lot of pretend play lately where he creates things and then “sells” them in his “shops.” Sometimes it’s his artwork or pipe cleaner and bead creations. Often it’s things we’ve worked on together on the kids’ workbench. Yesterday, though, brought one of my more entertaining shopping excursions.
Travis invited me to his store and displayed his merchandise. He had a bead bracelet, a picture he’d made, and a “helicopter” we’d made together. When he showed me the helicopter, he nonchalantly pointed to a drawing on the box it sat in and said, “Or you could get the meatball thrower.”
“The meatball thrower?” I asked in surprise.
“Yep,” he said as if it was typical merchandise.
“What does a meatball thrower do?” I asked, not sure if I was prepared for the answer.
“It’s for if you want to feed meatballs to a person and you’re sitting at the other end of the table from them,” he explained.
Oh, of course. Just what I needed!
“OK, I’ll take the meatball thrower,” I told him.
“Well, we really don’t have those in stock yet. That’s just a drawing of the plans for them so you’ll know we’re going to get them in. It’s very easy to build them, though. You can see from the picture just how it works.”
Actually, I couldn’t quite see from the picture just how it works. But I’m guessing I know what we’ll be working on next time we’re in the garage!
