Today is Saturday and that means we have fun and share about ourselves. What was your favorite book or books as a child? Were you drawn to a specific genre or author? What about now as an adult? Do you find yourself still drawn to similar book genres or have you left those childhood stories behind. I loved mysteries, of course, it might be due to that was all my grandma kept at her house. I started with the Bobbsey Twins, then Nancy Drew or the Hardy Boys (I preferred them), and graduated to Ellery Queens Minute Mysteries. At home, we had lots of magazines and trips to the library. Your turn.

@Adam Formanek has inspired me to create more simple and fun games you can play by yourself or with the kids in your life. Today, I was inspired by the old Highlights for Children magazine I grew up reading. One of my favorite pages was the “Spot the difference” page. With the help of AI I’ve created my first one for you. If you’d like the prompt I used so you can create your own, let me know. Can you find the differences between the left and right side? Answers revealed Tuesday to give everyone time to play.

Here’s a fun activity I would play with my kids when we traveled. It ties in great with yesterday’s prompt of myth making and storytelling. When playing at home, everyone builds on the story by adding a sentence or idea. I would designate one person as scribe. The scribe writes down the story and reads it back at the end and also plays. For our online version, I’ll start the story and everyone gets to add a sentence. Rules: - One sentence at a time - You can add more than one sentence but they can’t be in a row. - Copy the existing story into a comment and add your sentence. Story ends at 11:59 pm CDT today. I’ll start. Tagging a few to get us started. Thanks @Allan R. for the first sentence. @Daniel Cavaretta @Adam Formanek @Betty Jo Winters @Mayelice Castro @Andrea Quintal Portas @Anna Brown @Janell Bitton @Blue Mojo @Celia Kibler @Charlie Svensson @Aurelie Delahalle @Gus Gray @Max Orlewicz @Lisa Vanderveen @Mukkove Johnson

Thank you @Adam Formanek for a fun game night. @Janell Bitton I forgot to hit the record button but we are scheduling some more soon. Thanks to @Daniel Cavaretta and @Michelle Fuentes for joining the fun.

im curious, i think this is a powerful way to be real with your kids. show them how to be a good humans by apologizing when you get it wrong. Do you think this is a problem? why or why not?
