Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

I have a Face time date at four pm with my five year old grandson. I usually cut him off when an hour is up, but he could go on and on. Why? My secret to entertaining him is letting him be the absolute and complete boss of the play. Monday we played maze, with him pretty much wrecking the living room and dining room in his house to create it, and me chiming in with questions here and there. He never follows my suggestions but what do I care? And it's not my house being messed up. Though I want you to know I let my grandkids do the same thing in my house, but right now, with the covid, that's not possible. After we played maze we switched to horse stable. I'd lugged down my granddaughter's wooden toy stable a year ago, as she was too big for it, and it has a pegasus, unicorn and three horses. My grandson was the Boss, and I was the stable hand. Mainly, I asked him "What should I do next boss?" He ran around exerting himself, and I sat comfortably in my chair in my living room. He LOVES being the boss, as in the rest of his life someone is directing him to do something. Grandparents can be like younger siblings and like them, they'll do anything to be included in the play. My grandson would Face Time every day but his kind parents make it once or twice a week. I don't really mind, but I do have other grandchildren that must be attended to as well, and I'm pretty booked up. I may be ancient, but I sure am popular!
