Play

It is a happy talent to know how to play.

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Kids are good at playing.  It's kind of their  job to play.  That's how they learn.  Maybe if we treated play more like work that would be good.  We could wake kids up and say, "It's time to go to play!"  And then we could pay them based on the quality or importance of their play.  And we could make them play for like 40 hours a week.

Then when they got tired of all the playing we could say, well... maybe if you play first you can have some time to work later.  Then by the time they got to be grown ups, they'd be all excited to go to work and they would live happy adult lives.

I need to spend more time with Aurora.  I have some experiments I want to try out.
