Playground conversations between kids captured in kid-attracting sunlit candy tones.
Recent conversations between kids while playing at the park.
“Is that a dog? I like dogs. But I like cats better. Especially our cat. He’s so cute!”
“I think it is a dog. Maybe it’s a coyote. Do you think it’s a coyote? Don’t they look like dogs?”
“Maybe it’s a horse. We see lots of horses.”
“It’s because of the stables.”
“I like the trails and the hills. Mostly the flowers. And the butterflies.”
“I found some cool rocks. Think we can polish them? Also, I have a really good stick. I want to save it but not inside. Do coyotes like sticks as much as dogs do?”
Discussing the best swinger
“I’m the champion swing twister in my school. In my class at least. This is how I do it. You have to twist like this and then it goes for a really long time.”
“I like twisting too. The swings on our playground are different and don’t twist as well. Matthew twisted himself into the swings and fell down and didn’t even cry. Then we had to go back inside so I didn’t try it and then I collected sand toys later.”
“Usually this works for a really long time. I think these swings are different. But I still like swinging. And the trails. Maybe we can go to the pool later. And have some ice cream. We still have ice cream, right? Ice cream is my favorite dessert.”
Conversations about Numbers and dogs
“I’m good at lots of things at school. I’m really good at reading but my favorite subject is math.”
“Yeah, me too. I’m good at math. 1 plus 4 is …. 5. 3 plus 5 is … 7. No, wait — it’s 8.”
“Yeah well, I can multiply. I like multiplying by 5. It’s really easy.”
“I haven’t learned that yet. But I can draw cats really well. Especially smiling cats. They like jumping. And sleeping.”
“I still think we should get a dog. I would walk it every day. Maybe twice a day. Or some fish. Could we take the dog to the pool? Dogs like to swim? I’m a really good swimmer. I’m faster than Josh. Sometimes I run faster than he does too. And I can build ninjas with legos better. And faster. Maybe we could build a city later. And a car and an airplane. Something cool that looks like a robot.”
“I’ll make a kitty to ride in the car. Who is purple and can drive.”
Gatorade and Popsicles
“I’m higher than the house! Higher than the whole world!”
“When do we go home? It’s hot and I want to read my book.”
“I’m so high I’m in the sky!”
“I’m tired of drinking water. Can I have some Gatorade when we get home? I hope we have the orange kind.”
“I’m too high! I need to get down!”
“That’s my favorite Gatorade. The blue kind. Also blue Popsicles. No actually, the orange ones.”
“Thanks for getting me down. I love swinging so high. I was so high I could see the clouds and the bees.”
“Maybe I’ll have a blue Popsicle and orange Gatorade.”
“I like pink Gatorade. No, pink lemolade. Do we have lemolade?”
