i don't have kids, but if i did
i've been making a list of things i'd like to do with my kids on sunday, and only on sunday, to attach delight to the sunday section in the memory drawer of their brainboxes. like lighting sparklers on sunday. my friends and i used to make kickball cards (based on the actual templates of the day). it would be fun to make (insert child's interest here) cards with a kid on sunday afternoon. like mudpie cards. imaginary friend cards. coloring cards. acting cards. knee-skinning cards. tattletale cards. eat-all-your-food cards. for instance.
on another note, i'm bringing back the painter's cap.
yours truly,
the kickball kid of bartlett, tennessee.
You're bring the painters cap back by yourself or do you need help?

maybe you could start the revolution. send me some pics of people's public reactions, and i'll go from there.
