I was on the couch yesterday, well into a movie while occasionally filling in a crossword puzzle. I woke up a about an hour before the rest of my family had and so I had been quietly entertaining myself. I had heard a noise and saw my 9 year old daughter at the door. She was holding a big bouncy ball. I could only see the ball and not her face nor much of her torso. She stood there quietly. I looked back down at my puzzle.
I looked back down to fill in a word. I soon felt something big and round and plastic at my head. She had come over to where I lay. I looked up and still only saw the ball instead of her face. I said "Good morning". She stood there for about a minute quietly as my eyes went back up toward the television. She moved across the room and positioned herself and her big bouncy ball in between me and the set.
I asked her if she was wanting someone to play ball with her. She said, "Am I interfering?" I said "Not at all!" Down went the puzzle and off went the television. Mother joined us in the hallway as we rolled and threw the ball back and forth to one another. We had a good time together yesterday morning.
