Will You Play with Me?

"With" is an often overlooked word. I order a hoagie with mayo or a burger with fries. Did you notice the "with"? Maybe not but, insert "with" between play and children and it takes on a new meaning. It means you move from an  observer of children at play to a participant where you play with children. "With" doesn't make any difference whether you're the mother or father. Will you play WITH me?

Moms, Are You Teaching Your Children How to Play?

My mother was a great golf instructor. She was always telling me, “Stop slouching.

Hey, I just want to play.

“There is a trophy to be won. Golfers are keenly focused. Pressure is on. But, I just want to play. Really!  I’m not interested in a lower handicap. I just want to play.    "I could care less about a trophy. I want to laugh with my friends. Rib them occasionally when their fourth putt comes up short. I want to enjoy a sandwich and cold beverage at the end of the day. My week is too stressed. I just want to play.    "I want to get away for a couple hours with my friends, have some fun, ...
