[TS]
00:07:31
◼
►
out of your yard

just by energy the varmints would come

prized breed where if you want to buy

people that have decided just like there
[TS]
00:08:59
◼
►
are people that go to their local

00:09:07
◼
►
month to use Robert's Rules of Order on
[TS]
00:09:09
◼

one another just how those people that
[TS]
00:09:11

00:09:31
◼
►
because nobody else cares enough and so
[TS]
00:09:36
◼
►
it ends up that they run the Democratic
[TS]
00:09:38
◼
►
Party and there are Republicans doing

◼
►
who are getting much more of that stuff
[TS]
00:23:40
◼
►
than she is I'm guessing she is saying
[TS]
00:23:43
◼
►
she doesn't feel left out it sounds like
[TS]
00:23:45
◼
►
well her perception is and I this is a
[TS]
00:23:49
◼
►
perception that she has derived from
[TS]
00:23:50
◼
►
from school entirely I have never
[TS]
00:23:52
◼
►
influenced this at all if in fact I've
[TS]
00:23:56
◼
►
worked to influence it in the opposite
[TS]
00:23:57
◼
►
direction but she feels like Pokemon and
[TS]
00:24:00
◼
►
minecraft and a lot of these sort of
[TS]
00:24:05
◼
►
consumer like games and toys that are
[TS]
00:24:09
◼
►
based on buying something or interacting
[TS]
00:24:12
◼
►
with the machine or in
[TS]
00:24:14
◼
►
other way collecting things that those
[TS]
00:24:16
◼
►
are boy games Oh interesting okay and
[TS]
00:24:20
◼
►
she's interested in like pokemons as a
[TS]
00:24:23
◼
►
concept yeah as I as like a character
[TS]
00:24:26
◼
►
that has a narrative but when you think
[TS]
00:24:30
◼
►
about it those things don't really have
[TS]
00:24:31
◼
►
a narrative there's not exactly a
[TS]
00:24:33
◼
►
Pokemon narrative it's just like collect
[TS]
00:24:35
◼
►
them all yeah they all have backstories
[TS]
00:24:39
◼
►
but it's not like there's a it's not
[TS]
00:24:41
◼
►
like they're participating in a story
[TS]
00:24:43
◼
►
and Minecraft is an extension of Legos
[TS]
00:24:47
◼
►
and she's only now fully getting into
[TS]
00:24:51
◼
►
Legos because before she would take the
[TS]
00:24:54
◼
►
Legos and only put them together at the
[TS]
00:24:56
◼
►
very minimum amount that she could start
[TS]
00:25:00
◼
►
constructing a narrative around it oh
[TS]
00:25:02
◼
►
that's oh she's super interesting yeah
[TS]
00:25:04
◼
►
she put three Legos together and she'd
[TS]
00:25:06
◼
►
be like this is the house and then she'd
[TS]
00:25:10
◼
►
put another Lego on top of another Lego
[TS]
00:25:12
◼
►
and she'd say this is the car Wow
[TS]
00:25:15
◼
►
and I was like well hey why don't we
[TS]
00:25:17
◼
►
build you know like we could actually
[TS]
00:25:19
◼
►
build a house that has rooms and she's
[TS]
00:25:20
◼
►
like I don't think you heard me this is
[TS]
00:25:23
◼
►
the house and I'm like I cannot
[TS]
00:25:25
◼
►
interrupt you you know like by all means
[TS]
00:25:27
◼
►
so only now is she starting to actually
[TS]
00:25:30
◼
►
build structures where she's like this
[TS]
00:25:32
◼
►
is the garage and this is the bedroom
[TS]
00:25:33
◼
►
and so forth and so minecraft isn't a
[TS]
00:25:38
◼
►
thing that she has sought because like
[TS]
00:25:41
◼
►
Legos themselves are still just part of
[TS]
00:25:43
◼
►
like her building a narrative and so for
[TS]
00:25:48
◼
►
her the only interesting toys and and
[TS]
00:25:52
◼
►
like things are ones that she can adopt
[TS]
00:25:57
◼
►
or she can either adopt into a narrative
[TS]
00:25:59
◼
►
that she's constructing or she can build
[TS]
00:26:01
◼
►
a narrative around them right and little
[TS]
00:26:04
◼
►
things and gizmos and I think she I
[TS]
00:26:06
◼
►
think movies even for her and this is
[TS]
00:26:10
◼
►
you know honestly this is how my mind
[TS]
00:26:12
◼
►
works too like consuming media has
[TS]
00:26:16
◼
►
always been a problem for me based on I
[TS]
00:26:19
◼
►
think the idea of like well why would I
[TS]
00:26:21
◼
►
want to watch somebody else's
[TS]
00:26:22
◼
►
imagination bland yeah that makes sense
[TS]
00:26:24
◼
►
you know why wouldn't I just follow my
[TS]
00:26:27
◼
►
own imagine
[TS]
00:26:27
◼
►
I can make a movie in my head why would
[TS]
00:26:29
◼
►
I want to go watch somebody else's money
[TS]
00:26:31
◼
►
absolutely and so her I think she's
[TS]
00:26:33
◼
►
doing I mean you know she's pretty much
[TS]
00:26:35
◼
►
like you know because now she's at an
[TS]
00:26:38
◼
►
age where I can say well if she comes
[TS]
00:26:40
◼
►
out and she's like and I can say you
[TS]
00:26:45
◼
►
know what here's an idea why don't we go
[TS]
00:26:47
◼
►
to our rooms mm-hmm I'll go to my room
[TS]
00:26:50
◼
►
and you're gonna go to your room and you
[TS]
00:26:51
◼
►
can play and I'll play and then later on
[TS]
00:26:54
◼
►
we'll come play cuz the way she wants to
[TS]
00:26:56
◼
►
play with me is she wants to play confu
[TS]
00:26:58
◼
►
which is conf you is jump on daddy and
[TS]
00:27:01
◼
►
try to kick him in the balls
[TS]
00:27:03
◼
►
okay okay that's the that's that's
[TS]
00:27:05
◼
►
outcome that's how conflict food works
[TS]
00:27:07
◼
►
and so daddy doesn't always want to play
[TS]
00:27:09
◼
►
conflict
[TS]
00:27:10
◼
►
no cuz daddy gets injured in confu and
[TS]
00:27:13
◼
►
you know Jen she's six and a half I
[TS]
00:27:15
◼
►
can't really fight back yeah you know so
[TS]
00:27:20
◼
►
I just get beat up uh so but uh all by
[TS]
00:27:24
◼
►
way of saying everything that she's
[TS]
00:27:26
◼
►
interested in is narrative play and
[TS]
00:27:28
◼
►
there's not a ton of not even the ton of
[TS]
00:27:31
◼
►
like what I used to play which was like
[TS]
00:27:33
◼
►
war like mine area narrative play with
[TS]
00:27:36
◼
►
other kids was always like you are the
[TS]
00:27:38
◼
►
bad guys and I am the good guy or vice
[TS]
00:27:47
◼
►
does she have allies that will play like
[TS]
00:27:50
◼
►
that at school with her yeah but it's a
[TS]
00:27:54
◼
►
constant you know it's a constant thing
[TS]
00:27:57
◼
►
where I think the other little girls
[TS]
00:28:00
◼
►
also feel like they don't want Marlo to
[TS]
00:28:03
◼
►
just establish what the narration is oh
[TS]
00:28:06
◼
►
that's that's so that's a constant
[TS]
00:28:08
◼
►
battle I mean that's really the basis of
[TS]
00:28:10
◼
►
what makes place so interesting as an
[TS]
00:28:11
◼
►
observer is how much negotiation is
[TS]
00:28:13
◼
►
going on about what the terms of this
[TS]
00:28:15
◼
►
play are yep yep and her little friends
[TS]
00:28:19
◼
►
sometimes become you know she's got a
[TS]
00:28:22
◼
►
little group where she says well my
[TS]

◼
►

[TS]
00:28:43
◼
►
do and I think that I think it's a lot
[TS]
00:28:45
◼
►
to do with who is currently resisting

they both agreed to it and it does not
[TS]
00:30:12
◼

it that Alliance never breaks and she

[TS]
00:30:41
◼
►

[TS]
00:30:43
◼
►
long as he's still going to be Superman

00:30:44
◼
►
to me he can go out run off and do his
[TS]
00:30:46
◼
►
war right and he will occasionally and I
[TS]
00:30:50
◼
►
get the feeling maybe a little bit
[TS]
00:30:51
◼
►
against his will but he
[TS]
00:30:53
◼
►
accommodates her by sometimes being the
[TS]
00:30:56
◼
►
dad or the dog or whatever she decides
[TS]
00:30:59
◼

he is in her own narration and what's

00:49:12
◼

seven-year-old and do I start at the
[TS]
00:49:16
◼
►
start the second part is absolutely just
[TS]
00:49:19
◼
►
because they it's much lighter they're
[TS]
00:49:23
◼
►
11 years old in the first one and it's
[TS]
00:49:26
◼

much it gets pretty heavy after the
[TS]
00:49:29
◼
►
release kind of but definitely starting
[TS]
00:49:31
◼
►
with the third book it gets the stakes
[TS]
00:49:33
◼
►
get a lot higher and it gets a lot
[TS]
00:49:34
◼

creepier and by the end it is it is well
[TS]
00:49:36
◼

[TS]
00:49:46
◼
►
the Harry Potter books that were extant
[TS]
00:49:49
◼
►
in 2008 a what I would say is for
[TS]
00:49:54
◼
►
yourself just go and get Philosopher's
[TS]
00:49:56
◼
►
get Sorcerer's Stone and read the first
[TS]
00:50:00
◼
►
chapter to to yourself and see what you
[TS]
00:50:01
◼
►
think about it but it's really quite
[TS]
00:50:04
◼
►
good and great to read with a kid I mean
[TS]
00:50:07
◼
►
I'm saying something that's so silly
[TS]
00:50:08
◼
►
it's like saying well I don't know you
[TS]
00:50:09
◼
►
think my look my curious kid who likes
[TS]
00:50:11
◼
►
to build things will like Legos I'm like
[TS]
00:50:13
◼
►
[Music]
[TS]
00:50:15
◼
►
it's a no it's really it's really I mean
[TS]
00:50:18
◼
►
it gets the plot it's that it gets
[TS]
00:50:19
◼
►
because it actually is really good and
[TS]
00:50:22
◼
►
funny and pretty great for a kid and
[TS]
00:50:24
◼
►
like I say this the world-building and
[TS]
00:50:26
◼
►
the first one is so fun it's you know
[TS]
00:50:28
◼
►
it's not a short book but like you'll
[TS]
00:50:30
◼
►
know by the end if she's gonna be into
[TS]
00:50:31
◼
►
this though actually you might know in
[TS]
00:50:32
◼
►
the first chapter by the time they get
[TS]
00:50:34
◼
►
to Hogwarts like the world-building is
[TS]
00:50:36
◼
►
pretty terrific I mean just just even
[TS]
00:50:38
◼
►
like getting to the train platform and
[TS]
00:50:40
◼
►
all that and Hagrid in London and all
[TS]
00:50:42
◼
►
that it's it's so fun
[TS]
00:50:44
◼
►

[TS]
00:50:48
◼
►
personally maybe out loud to yourself
[TS]
00:50:50
◼
►
when no in his home start reading the
[TS]
00:50:52
◼
►
first chapter at CC if you like it but
[TS]
00:50:54
◼
►
also there's anything there that really
[TS]
00:50:56
◼
►
curls your hair
[TS]
00:50:56
◼
►
I think she's seven yeah
[TS]
00:51:00
◼
►
well six and a half six and
[TS]
00:51:01
◼
►
three-quarters you know it's up to
[TS]
00:51:04
◼
►
judgment but like I imagine you'd be
[TS]
00:51:06
◼
►
fine yeah I may be I worry about the
[TS]
00:51:10
◼
►
most is that when I was young you know I
[TS]
00:51:13
◼
►
was born on Friday the 13th oh boy and
[TS]
00:51:16
◼
►
when I was a kid
[TS]
00:51:19
◼
►
other kids ascribed to me magic
[TS]
00:51:23
◼
►
I was I was thought of as a little bit
[TS]
00:51:29
◼
►
of a like a kid sorcerer which I loved
[TS]
00:51:34
◼
►
mm-hmm and it wasn't a thing that I
[TS]
00:51:37
◼
►
encouraged it was like it was I was born
[TS]
00:51:43
◼
►
on Friday the 13th and then there's
[TS]
00:51:46
◼
►
something about me that seems like maybe
[TS]
00:51:49
◼
►
a kind of young magic user but as I grew
[TS]
00:51:56
◼
►
older I started to think of myself as
[TS]
00:52:00
◼
►
actually being some kind of magic orb I
[TS]
00:52:04
◼
►
thought about it all the time and it was
[TS]
00:52:09
◼
►
it was for sure I don't think it was a
[TS]
00:52:14
◼
►
problem but it did occupy a lot of my
[TS]
00:52:17
◼
►
imagination and there was always a tinge
[TS]
00:52:20
◼
►
of disappointment to it that I wasn't
[TS]
00:52:23
◼
►
actually magic that I couldn't actually
[TS]
00:52:26
◼
►
like create spooky action at a distance
[TS]
00:52:30
◼
►
doesn't land on you in one day it lists
[TS]
00:52:33
◼
►
begin I doubt still somehow some you're
[TS]
00:52:37
◼
►
weighing doubt versus hope that there is
[TS]
00:52:39
◼
►
still something here in my case that I
[TS]
00:52:40
◼
►
could like move something or like Rita
[TS]
00:52:42
◼
►
my and or something like that you're
[TS]
00:52:43
◼
►
