“Tell me, what did you do today?”
When children come home at the end of the day.The question they’re asked as they scurry to play is, “Tell me, what did you do today?”And the answer they give makes you sigh with dismay.“Nothing, I did nothing today!”Perhaps nothing means that I played with blocks,Or counted to ten, or sorted some rocks.Maybe I painted a picture of red and blueOr heard a story of a mouse that flew.Maybe I watched the gerbils eat today,Or went outside on the swings to play.Maybe today was the very first timeThat my scissors followed a very straight lineMaybe I led a song from beginning to end,Or played with a brand new friend.When you’re in pre-school and your heart has wings,“Nothing” can mean so many things!!
