Back to our Servant/Slave theme

(I walk in the living room and Lara has a Dolly in a kind of fence and kind of looked like it was on an island)

Me: Hi hunny...is your Dolly on an island?

Lara: NO she is for sale

Me: She is for sale? That is called Slavery

Lara: What is Slavery?

Me: Well people used to take other people and sell them for money. Then they used to make them work really hard against their will. The Slaves were treated horribly and it was not a nice thing.

Lara: Is that what happened to you?

Me: NO...I do things for you willingly.

(I walk out to get coffee and when I come back the Dolly is replaced by sheep)

Me: Where did your dolly go?

Lara: She ran away to find a family that appreciates her...so I'm selling sheep.

Very cute. You homeschoolers are so good at finding 'teachable moments' everywhere. I would never have thought of that!
