Group Dynamics

Usually Karl is quite the loner at the playgrounds. He's happy to meet his buddy's but then he takes off to do his thing all by himself. Or he starts talking up other moms. Not the other day though. He went crazy with the big boys. They even turned him into the boss for a while because he found an apparently very desirable piece of string with a plastic hook attached. So they all ran around the playground together like nuts, screaming my son's name. Of course since this is the toddler playground full of first time moms with small single children I was totally getting side-eyed – but who cares?

Henri did his best to keep up the noise level at his side of the field by banging a stolen digger on the slide.
