Adults are always asking little kids what they want to be when they grow up because they're looking for ideas."- Paula Poundstone
Play when I was younger was very limited. I was made to sit and be still most of the time. When I did play I would play house or play games like tag. Even when I was around other children, I would often sit by myself. Most of my play was in daydream land. I couldn't go outside so besides the visits I had for cousins I spent my time daydreaming and pretending I was a visitor where I was living. I had a hard life. My experience and studies have shown me how important play is. There isn't much differences in play today than yesterday. However children today are exposed to much more than when I was younger. I do believe that play has not changed. People have changed.
These two pictures is something I remembered from only Christmas I had. Although I was a social reject, developmentally immature, an emotional wreck and angry. I had these two things for many years. I played with these toys well into my teen years. Many children my age made fun of me. I know understand why, however as a child it was hurtful. But I use to play mother. I took care of my babies as if they was real. however, when time came for my sixth grade responsibility project of caring for eggs. I failed.
