1. I have head lice. Let’s play hair salon.

2. I brought my gerbils so we can let them run around.

3. I just got my ears pierced so I know how to pierce yours if you want.

4. Can we build a fort using anything in the house?

5. Does your Mom let you mix a bunch of things together and then bake it in the real oven? Mine does.

6. Do you want to see me juggle those candles?

7. My Mom says I can eat the cream cheese out of the container using just my fingers and I don’t need a bagel.

8. Let’s play in the swimming pool hole.
