Role-Playing

Observed post-lunch today: Kate taking Claire's phone order for pizza, while a rogue waiter unsuccessfully tries to climb the "counter".


"Hello, this is Pizza Hut. How may I help you?" Waitress Kate is nothing if not polite and helpful.

"Um, yes. I would like a pizza with pepperoni and olives and pineapple, please." Evidently, we order the same pizza often enough that Claire has memorized its toppings.


Dissatisfied with the speed of service, customer Claire rushes the counter in an attempt to precipitate its delivery. Note that waitress Kate has not yet hung up the phone.


Aforementioned waiter tries to make a quick phone call of his own, while the chef prepares the pizza.

Customer Claire inexplicably ends up with an apple and a lemon; it is unclear whether this was intentional on the part of Pizza Hut, or if orders were botched.

I loved this! And how great that all three are playing together!

Your addition of Luke's picture to the "one year ago" section made me sad for some reason.

we have that same shopping cart ... that along with a $4 kitchen set from a garage sale has provided countless hours of fun in our house. or on our patio, actually, since that's where we keep it.

i love it when kids pretend and role play. for some reason, it just makes me smile every time no matter how often they do it!

Loved this. It's so nice to document them all playing together well. It is one of the blessings of having multiple children - not just the playing together, but getting to watch it and enjoy it and thank God for that blessing!
