Anyone reading this blog for the last week or so would think we only have one child! But Allison's still here, doing her thing quietly and being (as usual) a much less squeaky wheel than Jonathan.
Last night we had a funny moment when I picked her up at her social club. It was board game night, and she and Laura, one of the leaders, were finishing up a game of U-build Monopoly (a new version with all these interlocking hexagons). I looked down at one of the tiles and thought, "Huh? How did Allison's name get on this game???"
What I was actually reading was not the name Allison Prinsen, but the French words ALLEZ EN PRISON -- in other words, "Go to Jail."
We had a good laugh when I pointed out how much this looked like Allison's name. So we have a new nickname for Allison now: "Go to Jail."
In Monopoly, Jail is often a haven to avoid landing on Park Place with 3 hotels!
ReplyDeleteIn other words, Allison may be a safe haven for folks under stress... perhaps not yet, but as she grows up.
Nice thought...
That's funny, Sarah! Even jail has a silver lining.
