“I just forgot about you.”

This week Avia shared a story from Studio Red.  Her story invited us to extend our thinking on play and friendship. 
We reflected together on our relationships with one another.  Her story invited us to connect with each other in new ways.

"A while ago I used to play with Sophie, but now I don't. We had super powers. It was fun."

Why don’t you play with me so much?  Sophie

I just forgot about you.  But maybe today I will.  Avia

I remember asking if I could play with you guys and Sophie said sure.  Sofia

If you play with her today will you play with her tomorrow?  Eleanor

Today and tomorrow.  Avia

And every else day!  Elliott

Why don’t you play with Sophie anymore?  Callen

Cuz I didn’t see her that much and I didn’t want to play with her cuz she was playing with other people.  Avia

Avia, just cuz I wasn’t playing with you every day, that doesn’t mean I’m not your friend anymore.  But sometimes I want to play with others of my friends.  Sophie

Cuz sometimes you get bored.  Avia

What kind of powers did you have?  Sofia

Rainbow powers.  Avia

Why don’t you play with Sophie anymore?  I can tell she’s sad cuz she’s crying.  Eleanor

Why did you forget about her?  Avery

I forgot about her cuz I see her playing with Helen a lot.  Avia

Sometimes I play with Eleanor, you, Ruby, Sofia.  One day I’ll play with Callen and Elliott.  Sophie

And Emily!  And Lauri!  Children

And Violet!  Sofia

And plants!  Callen

And sketchbooks!  Eleanor

I saw Sophie was really sad and I saw her crying.  Sofia

This was a sad story.  Marky

Not that sad.  Avia

I want to be your friend as long as the universe.  Sofia

What if we forget each other?  Callen

Why did you forget about me?  Sophie

I saw you playing and I thought you were having fun.  Avia
