Learning to GM from a toddler


“Daddy, you sit there and I’ll read you a story”.
“Okay”.
Alice (our nearly-three year-old toddler) picks up her Maman’s romance novel and randomly opens it. “Once-apon-a-time-one-day, a group of yellow ducks go down to the swimming pool.” Alice goes to the next page. “They scream ‘AAAAAAAAAAA’.”
“Why do they scream?”
Alice shows me her most serious angry face look, squinting her eyes and squeezing her mouth tight and says… “Be quiet!”
