One of my son’s summer home work projects is to learn a new trick. I’m going to teach him how to juggle. Tomoko doesn’t know how. I asked her this morning if we had her mom’s juggling bean bags somewhere in the apartment. She looked and found two of them. For the third one she brought me a smaller lighter kind of stuffed toy. There were two problems here: the third toy was too small and light and the two bean bags were too big for the hands of a seven year-old.

Here’s my logic problem for today. I told her the bean bags were too big for Kai’s hands. He wouldn’t be able to easily throw them. Tomoko’s reply was, “But I saw on TV a little girl juggling. She could do it.”

What should my reply be?

  1. “You’re right.”
  2. “Really? That’s interesting.” And then walk away.
  3. “Tomoko. Seeing a little girl juggle on TV and the bean bags being too big are not connected in any way.” At which time she responds with something even more unrelated.

I’m thinking I should start talking to myself more often.

Tennis balls? Good grip, small, very light.
