So I just walked by Jules' room and she was in there, in classic Kid Mode, playing dolls. She was doing the voices and the different characters and everything. And it got me thinking.
They say that kids' play is practice for social situations and growing up. And it makes sense, to see Jules in there playing dolls and loving her little ones, and imagining her growing up and being a good mother from all her practice.
The question is this: if Jules practices for motherhood by playing with dolls, then what is Eric practicing for when he spends hour upon hour building legos and Bionicles? What adult-hood practice is he getting, building so many robot monsters? Is it problem-solving? Is it preparation for his intended career: inventor? Or is it just something to pass the time and should I just be grateful it's not video games?
What does it all mean?!
