My son, Kekoa, really isn't "in" to a lot of things. What he is in to is only bits and pieces of a whole. For instance, he likes to tie flys, but he has never been fly fishing. He'll sit around tying flys like crazy, and then he won't for awhile. Kind of like me and reading books.
Anyway, a couple of years ago we bought him some Snap Circuits. You snap all these pieces together and you can have an alarm, a radio, and all sorts of different things depending on which kits you buy, and the creative genius your child manifests. Kekoa really likes the radio. At first I was worried about what type of music he would be listening to, but he only gets two stations, one spanish and one classic country. I'm talking Mac Davis and Tonya Tucker.
Now, here's the "funny" part. On the country station there is a program where people call in and announce what they have for sale or what they are looking for. It's like the classified section in a newspaper. When I was a girl it was called Tradio on the Radio. I thought it was pretty boring. My girls think it's boring. Kekoa does not. He gets upset if he misses it. Every once in awhile he'll run out of his room to tell us something that is for sale that we might want to buy. I'm not sure why he thinks we'd want to buy some of this stuff, especially as money is very tight right now. I have no need of a Dodge Caravan. My car works, praise the Lord.
So, I'm trying to find a way to make this interest of Kekoa's a bit more educational without killing his interest for it all together. The problem is, I have no ideas. What can you study about the classifieds? That sounds about as boring as listening to that program. HELP! |
