Dear Humans,

They moved your Gaga Ball pit to the under-construction school next door. You can see the worn away grass in the perfect shape of the former pit. And when you first came out to recess and saw it, you thought, “What do we do now?”

So you did what kids do: you made up a new game. A variation of Gaga Ball, but without the walls. And it’s a little bit unhinged, and I’m not totally sure of the rules. But you seem to be figuring it out. And everyone is having a good time.

Someone is definitely going to get hurt, but we’ll deal with that when it happens. In the meantime, we’ll enjoy the purest form of play possible: creating your own game.

Sincerely,

Mr. Curt
