Did Ya Notice These Amazing Inventions?

Introduction

This material comes from a book in production entitled The Family Dinner Table Book. Many of us no longer have time for dinner together as a family, but conversation as a family is still extremely important. Even if you eat together once a week, make the time worthwhile. Perhaps your family would title this The Family Sunday Breakfast book, or the Wednesday Pizza Together Book. The important thing is that you establish a regular time to talk together as a family. This book gives you examples of interesting topics, and each topic includes Conversation Kickstarters. I hope this material brings good times and good laughs to your family! 

Did Ya Notice These Amazing Inventions?

Notice some things that we see and use all the time, but usually don’t give them the gratitude they are due! We often don’t really Notice them. Let us profusely thank:

•          Your TRASHCAN! Imagine if there were no trashcans - trash and garbage would be everywhere. Yuck! Who could live in a mess like that?!

•          Your JACKET in winter! Imagine yourself walking outside in a cold snow. You have on a warm jacket or parka. You are nice and warm inside that jacket, and you can admire the beauty all around you. What if nobody had ever invented the jacket, parka, or coat, and you only had an animal skin that kept falling off?

•          Your BOOTS! Yes, you can stomp in spring rain puddles; you can walk in snow; you can slosh through mud. Hooray for boots!

•          And don’t forget to Notice the great and wonderful HOOK!  The hook is amazing – it takes up little room and allows you to hang up all kinds of things that are then out of the way and ready for the next time you need them. Yay for the hook!

CONVERSATION KICKSTARTERS
