  AMA, I'M SO SORRY...

 I went over to visit our grandchildren one night and our four-year old grandson ran up to me with a concerned look on his face and grabbed my neck as I hugged him saying, “ Ama, I am sorry you don’t have any more of your marbles!” Needless to say, the laughter exploded and I knew exactly who had said what, all I needed to complete the picture was the why.   I looked at my son-in-law and said, “Hmmm, I think I know who he got that from.”

Sure enough, the boys had been playing with marbles and were repeatedly asked to pick them up.  My daughter tried to explain the importance of keeping track of such small items and that we “don’t want to lose any of our marbles.” To which my son-in-law quickly added, “Yeah…like Ama. She has lost all of her marbles.” It was pretty funny. That is a perfect example of a concrete thinker. You say it, they believe it.    author - Jane E. Jenkins      Note: This funny story is used in the book to show the example of concrete thinking.   "Rebuilding After the Explosions: Helping Parents Put the Pieces Back Together". Pg. 134
