What’s It for?

Have ever just sat on a bench or the curb and had a conversation with a young child? You know, just talked about “stuff?”

Diane Gugliotta told me about the “good ol’ days” when she did that with her brother, Gene. She said she’d ask him this question … “What’s it for?” and he would come up with the cutest answers.

Now, what’s funny about this is that was many years ago and Gene hasn’t been a little boy in a long time! And, she could still remember how cute his answer was when she asked, “What’s a hole for?” His answer was, “For the ice cream to drip through.” She figured it must have been in reference to an ice cream cone with a hole in the bottom. That could have been more than 40 years ago and she can still recall it and smile.

Have a conversation with the young child. It’s fun and could lead to very cute memories like this!

    We enjoyed using this tip during our recent car ride to the ballpark. We played the game the whole ride there and then after the game, the kids asked, “Have any more “What’s it used for?” questions. Fun!
