I'm Gretchen Rubin and this is a little happier. A friend told me a delightful story about her childhood.

When she was in kindergarten, she went to a school that didn't have a good playground.

It was made of some material like asphalt and

it was old so it was pitted and cracked and it was very small. Every morning the

kindergartners went out for a 20 minute recess. And sometimes, and my friend said, it was always a great day when this happened.

Her teacher would hand each child a very small paper cup, then she'd take a handful of what she called magic pebbles, she'd throw them out onto

the playground so they'd scatter wide, and she'd tell the children to find as many as they could. They had to bend and hunt among the cracks and crevices to try to

spot those pebbles. My friend said that on a good day she might be able to find six of these magic pebbles. When she got older, she realized that the

magic pebbles were actually those tiny brightly colored aquarium rocks that you can buy by the bag. My friend told me that this simple

activity was tremendously fun. It was the thrill of the hunt, of course. It was a

group activity that every child could be part of, even a child who found it hard to join in games.
