Rare Shark Facts

Hannah invented a very fun game.  It is played on the pool cover and scaffolding for the fireplace.  There are few tools required:  a long stick and a bucket of goggles.  Here's how you play:  one person (Hannah) yells "shark" and points at a spot on the pool cover, the second person (Mommy) is to poke at the shark with the stick while standing on the "island"- this is where scaffolding comes in handy.  But wait!!! You thought this game was just about poking sharks, right?  No, there are also friendly sharks that you must feed with....goggles from your trusty bucket.  You must also try to coax them out of the water to dance with you on the island.  We hold hands and dance around in a circle singing a song that only Hannah knows.  With the friendly ones, of course.  Everyone knows that grumpy sharks do not dance.  We played for two hours tonight until Hannah, Mommy and all the sharks were very tired.  To summarize, here are some things you may not have known about sharks:

1. There are friendly sharks and grumpy sharks.
2. Poking grumpy sharks with a stick is just the thing to do.
3. Friendly sharks like to eat goggles.  Keep a bucket handy.
4. Sometimes they will dance with you on your island.
