Funny comparison... food for thought... can a banana be as entertaining as a webkinz?
http://technorati.com/videos/youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DSfF6VfXeL58
Too funny...but is it the banana vs. webkinz? or is it the undivided attention being received from Dad vs. webkinz? Either way, webkinz was forgotten, at least temporarily...
Thanks for sharing Tom.
the latter I think... it is the kernel of the instructional play model / idea I have for a business / company... I find that just a simple few minutes of one on one with either of my children, and they tend to remember the moment, the interaction, and the details!!! so much so that they often pop it on me out of the blue to "do it again" - and if I don't get it exactly right, they remind me how I'm doing it wrong...!!! and I'm the one who on a whim "invented" the interaction in the first place!! Ha! Chalk one up for flesh and blood!
