Yet another new game with balls has been instituted at our home by the ever clever Bentley. He discovered that if he threw his green rubber ball on to the bottom shelf of the plant stand it made a wonderful sound--bang, clang, rattle! While Bentley found the sound mellifluous, his opa did not. Opa thought it was tinny and noisy and, well, unpleasant. But, being a good opa, he let his grandson continue to throw the ball over and over and over onto the bottom shelf. The shelf is anchored to the wall fortunately, although not because I anticipated it being turned into a musical instrument. (I was afraid Bentley might try to climb it.) I wonder what the plants on the upper shelves think of this activity? If they all start dropping leaves will it be because of the noise or the jarring impact of each throw?
