Pop the Tomato

At dinner the other night we were asking Janna about her day and we were getting the usual answers.

What was your favorite part? Janna’s response –Everything

Then I asked her about recess and if she went outside, she said no we stayed inside and played this wonderful game called “pop the tomato”.

She went on to describe pass the tomato in the circle and when the music quits you get a chip. Three chips and you are out. Then I asked what color was it, brown.

Isaac and I just smiled- Hot Potato – was the game she played.

We have tried over the months to explain the difference between tomato and potato, but guess we need to still work on it.

We told her it was Hot Potato she played, she said that is okay mommy, whatever it is called, it is a wonderful game.
