Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for November 05, 2013

“Do as I tell you and you WILL ENJOY it. That’s an order”.

If 13-year-olds don’t frolic, what DO they do outside?

Just a misnomer. They don’t use the word ‘frolic’— I don’t know what they call it but it is the same thing particularly if the opposite sex is around.

Maybe “cavort”?

Ya know why Abraham was told to sacrifice Isaac when Isaac was 12?…’cuz if he’d been 13 it would be no sacrifice.

Come on Holly live a little go play in the leaves have some fun. Crunching leaves is also fun.

Gather the leaves and set them alight. That’s always fun. Just make certain your kid sister isn’t hiding among them first.

Send her on a walk.

I’m 73. We don’t frolic either. Well, gotta get back to my rocking chair by the fireplace.

Leave her in front of the tv until she’s 16 and becomes human again.

You do now!!

I hate your new email system.

Go mope in the leaves kiddo.

Yeah, go have fun with the ticks! :-)

Losing a 13 year old is no sacrifice. At least, that’s what my married friends claim.

But that’s half the fun!
