Description
My family visited with my grandma every week. Grandma spoke only French and we spoke only English but Grandma taught us to play lots of games. She had no TV and the internet was not invented. We played Chinese jump rope, marbles, jacks, and lots of other fun games.We love to play dress up there too. Grandma had pet chickens and we decided it would be fun if they dressed up to. We tried chasing the chickens to catch them. My brother even talked about trying to rope the chickens but Grandma said "No" she didn't often speak English but when she did we knew she meant business. We were able to catch a couple chickens chasing them. I was the baby girl and the chickens looked so cute all dressed up in my doll and my clothes. Catching those hens was a challenge though. Grandma found the hens didn't lay as much if we chased them so she showed us a trick. She sat on the ground and sprinkled chicken feed near her. When the chickens came to eat she simply picked one up and put it in her lap. She added a handful of chicken feed on her apron. As long as we dressed the hens slowly they stayed in our lap. As we matured we laughed about trying to catch a chicken by chasing it. It was a lesson that was learned easily because Grandma was patient enough to let us try our way a few times. Then when we were tired from trying we were opened to her suggestion of sitting to catch chickens.
