The children were in the playground. Tom was standing, watching the children playing. Teagan (child) got a skipping rope. She walked up to Tom and said, “Do you want to play Tom?” She reached out with the skipping rope in her hand and Tom took it. They ran around in a circle with the rope. They stopped. They looked at each other. Teagan said something to Tom that I could not hear. They turned to face the playground fence and ran parallel to each other with a stretched rope.

When they got to the end of the court they turned and ran the other way. They stopped and Teagan started wiggling the rope up and down and Tom joined in this wiggling. Teagan and Tom were laughing together. They continued wiggling the rope for approximately one minute. Tom dropped the rope and walked away. I think it’s wonderful that you can play without me Tom. You are awesome!
