Conversation with a 7 yr old
My wonderful niece recently visited me in France. We were walking down the street one day in Paris and had the following conversation:
Picture this cute little blonde kid holding my hand and bouncing all over the sidewalk.
me "ok, we're looking for a crepe stand, can you see one, help me look, we gotta find one"
Picture her bouncing all over the side walk talking about everything she sees, but not looking for crepes.
me "ok, remember, crepe stand, work with me here, we're looking for a crepe stand before we can do anything else, focus on finding a crepe stand"
her "what does focus mean"
me "it's when you're trying to find one thing and you don't let other things distract you until you find that one thing, like we're doing with the crepe stand"
her "oh, i understand, (bounce bounce) hey look at that over there at that (not a crepe stand)"
