There' s been skating parties and ball games and hikes. There's been swimming and track and field and tennis. It has been ab- solutely great, and believe me, my hat is tipped to the wonder. ful, wonderful young people who staff these playground programs. Anyway, the particular week in question was Indian Week. That's the time the kids have Indian stories, do Indian crafts, play Indian games .... and have a real-live cookout and sleepout. It is a big time for any youngster, but for a seven-year old who has never experienced this kind of grown-up thrill before, it is pure magic. The instructions from the playground stated we should send a sleeping bag and a ground sheet; some hotdogs for roasting and something to drink. It further stated the child should have "adequate footwear" and "warm clothing other than their Indian costumes". And that's when the hassle began. Older brother had to inter- fere. "Who ever heard of an In- dian using a sleeping bag and eating hotdogs?" Little brother was crushed. "Well, we're not real Indians. We're just doing Indian things like cooking outside and sleeping outside!' Big brother simply smiled knowingly. Little brother was angry, "Why does he always yell at me?" my littlest son asked me M a hot tone of voice. "Why doesn't he leave me alone?" It was then tip to me to ex. plain to our youngest son how it is when people get older, I tried to tell him how difficult it is for grown up folks to pretend the way he was preten- ding he was an. Indian. He looked at me questioningly, "Your big brother was once able to pretend just as well as you do," I began. "All kids pretend a whole lot of the time, I 'used to pretend too. It is fun." "Don't you pretend now?" my little son asked me, "Not much. Only sometimes," I confessed. "And it is too bad, too, People miss so much when they can't pretend asny more." My little son snuggled close. "Tonight, when you are eating your hotdogs and drinking your milk, it won't be hotdogs and milk. It will be corn bread and rabbit and herb 'tea, just like the Indians used to eat," I explained, "And when you go to sleep tonight, it won't be a sleeping bag and a ground sheet in the park," I said. "It will be a blanket over some evergreen branches in the middle of a dense forest." His eyes sparkled as the thoughts of all the excitement ahead twirled in his youthful head. "The other kids will be braves and squaws," I said. "The leaders will be like Great Chief and Medicine Man, The whole world will look different and new and you will be able to enjoy it because you can still pretend." He nodded his head in agreement. "Now if big brother was to go with you, he wouldn't see any of that," I said. "He'd have plain ordinary hotdogs to eat. He'd have a plain old sleeping bag to sleep in and he'd feel silly about it because he'd not be able to forget he was only four blocks from home." "He wouldn't have a good time, would he?" asked my lit- tle son. "He sure wouldn't because he'srtoo old lost his abSit*twareletid, we is really fun," I said. "Will I get too old to pretend too?" my son asked sadly. "Not if you don't want to," I said. "You can pretend just as long as you want to, if you try." One quick kiss, a smile, and my son was off to Indian Day, renewed and reassured at seven.
