Me: Hey, Natalie! Let’s scan something, like a raw egg. Maybe a geod or two. Or make a movie with iMovie. Or take pictures with my digital camera.
Natalie:
Me: Wanna play with this cool app on my iPhone?
Natale:
Me: Spencer liked my iPhone when he played with it . . . How about we play a game of Ticket to Ride or Settlers.
Natalie:
Me: No? How about Boggle or Nertz?
Natalie:
Me: Well, okay. Maybe not. When Spencer visited two weeks ago, he ran through the sprinklers and played on the swings. Whaddya think about that?
Natalie:
Me (lifting up Natalie’s eyelids): Hello? Hello? Is anybody in there?
Natalie:
Me: How about you just lay there sleeping looking so spiffy in your little outfit with your hair all done up and I’ll just hold you?
Natalie smiled.
