“Look, I can make a star”, my sons’ friend told me. Her first
attempts were clumsy, but she finally produced a star- something I’d never
learnt to do when I was addicted to cats’ cradle.
When I got home, I cut out a length of twine, to see how
much I remembered- I had forgotten most of it, but a lot came back to me. I stored
it up to teach the kids. Isn’t it marvelous that despite all the electronic
distractions available to them, kids today are still fascinated by the things
that we loved when we were young?

Natasha - I've done that kind of thing, and it's interesting how those childhood memories come back. Some things transcend generations.
