The Strut. The Imagination.

She was the start of the next generation, my little cousin (who now towers over me). Her thoughts and questions were controlled by her expansive imagination, which brought to life the “jungle jungle” game. We pretended that her shoelaces were bunnies looping through holes, so I could teach her how to tie her own laces. I tried to keep the stories simple, but she always came back to me, as she was attempting to tie her laces, with a more extensive, action filled bunny story that resulted in knots that were impossible to undo. This always led to another story about bunny and his adventures.
