Stories, stories, stories: what stories do I have for you? Today, when we came to collect Jason, he informed us that he had made a new friend ‘Jackson Ryan O’Malley’ – and that, I might add, is the boy’s name – not just Jackson or Jack or Ryan – no! Jackson Ryan O’Malley. Jason was quite delighted, not simply because he had made a new friend but because he and his new friend got to play a boardgame called ‘Candyland.’ That is the game that figured in one of the early Jason stories – the one where he HAD been going to play Candyland with his friend, Taylor, but then Taylor and another girl got into an argument about the rules and by the time they had thrashed out an acceptable solution, the time for playing games was up and Jason didn’t get to play… Sigh. Life is SOOO rough when you are five. Of course, as I pointed out to Jason, similar situations occur in the adult workplace… At any rate, Jason apparently had a good day at school, for which I am infinitely grateful.
