Lessons on Monkey Bars

New school, new playground.  Eleanor and I were checking out the equipment.  She had been in third grade for a couple of months, but it was a first visit for me.  Eleanor looked around, and said to me, “Look at the monkey bars!”  She pointed to a new piece of playground equipment.  “Yes,” I replied, “they look so fun!”

Eleanor was quiet for a minute.  Then she said, “I like that!”

Then it hit me.
