Our second day of giving. I suggested that they give each other permission to borrow something of the other’s that they seldom share. Both said that they didn’t care to borrow anything of the other’s. So much for that idea…so they were on their own to think of a gift.
Reeves decided to sing Happy Birthday to his great grandfather (93).
Embree and Reeves attend a combo science and sign language class on Wednesday evenings. They made colloids – gum drops – out of Jell-O gelatin and water. They were cool. Of course, because they were made of gelatin, Embree wouldn’t eat hers. She gave one to a friend and one to Reeves. This, she counted as her gift. Ok, it was 8pm and she was desperate to check off the assignment. Got anything laying around you would rather die than eat…give it as a gift!!! I admit, before now, she would have thrown it in the garbage rather than share it with her brother…so there was generosity in her gift.
This is going to be a learning experience for all of us! I know they will both benefit from this experiment if we stick to it.
Until tomorrow…

Jeannie, I really love this idea. I think I may borrow it for the rest of the month. My guys have been very rude and just nasty to each other lately.....this may be just the thing they need :)
