My youngest child goes to pre-school, called “gan” in Israel, six days a week. I have to pick him up from gan every day in the middle of the afternoon. I also have to bring him a snack. Near every gan is a playground, what he calls a park.
So every day after I pick him up, he wants to go to the park. He is very insistent, even though it is not as if he doesn’t actually play all day at his pre-school. Therefore every day I have to spend an extra 30 minutes to an hour sitting with him while he eats his snack and enjoying watching him playing in the park before we can go home and I can get back to my work and chores.
