Always Bored
After over a year of online school, Chloe was super bored being at home. Though she was excited about the summer holiday, and had all kinds of plans she told her parents about she still found herself bored every few minutes.
Chloe was the only little kid in her house, she didn’t have any other kid to play with and didn’t often have play dates with her friends because of pandemic.
Her parents tried to make sure she had all they think she needed by buying her all the toys she asked for. She had an iPad, a cell phone, a bicycle, a scooter, large dollhouse and a number of dolls. Chloe even had her own bounce house that she could enjoy anytime. Her home had a swimming pool and a big backyard she could play in. She also had a tv in her room, and no other siblings to share with or argue about what to watch on tv. She had it all to herself.
But Chloe always complained about being bored.
“Mom, can you buy me that toy on tv, so I can play with it and not be bored”. Her mom would reply, “ no Chloe, you have enough stuff to keep your company”.
