My goodness.. you are NEVER too old to be playful.. the gnomes are pure fun.. I was laughing during that segment. I was delighted that Roddy got into the spirit with the gnomes too. Jason's gnome also was present during the live show.

Playfulness is especially useful in high stress situations. You see tons of toys around creative hard working people. Lots of us had collections of little windup toys at work (computer sciences corporation), we had plants, mobiles, kooshes, slinkies.. slinkies were very popular . Our vice president would come in and play with someone's slinky and finally we gave him one of his own and he'd walk the halls (he used the "management by walking around".. being available, listening to people, etc technique) with his slinky, slinging it from one end (it was a small one).. he tended to be pretty hyper and if he was stuck in an office, he was a "pacer".. he'd pace back and forth during an informal meeting.

And we played.. at lunch we'd go play video games (in the days of arcades).

Being silly isn't a crime.

And someone you don't like can still do something that is simply fun or endearing.,.

sigh.. lighten up!

Heh...Sigh

I think someone needs to cut the head off that thing, slip it in bed with him while he is sleeping, then put Roddy's 'boo' on the nighttable.

Grinning *sigh*.

I don't care if he plays and acts silly..I found that segment refreshing and amusing..and wish they would do more events (painting gnomes etc) in the house..

I just don't like the term of endearment that I have for my son son likened to poop and a gnome..:)

Seamonkey excellent post. I enjoyed the gnome segment immensely and I laughed at the games they were playing.

I've called both my children Boo as a term of endearment. It's a very popular term in this area of the country. Perhaps my cajan compadres here on the board will chime in and confirm.

I'm a great proponent of playing on the job. I come here and post throughout the day and it certainly gives me that little "lift" in spirits. Being silly can release stress and tension and I'm sure everyone has heard the saying that "laughter is the best medicine."
