"I remember long summer days when I'd lie on my back in the yard and watch clouds. That boredom taught me to see patterns, to daydream, to be comfortable in my own head. I worry my kids won't have that."
"My best ideas always come after periods of 'nothing.' When I force my children to endure boredom, they initially protest but eventually create the most amazing games and stories."
