Dealing with Impatience

One afternoon outside on the playground, the children were playing a busy game of running around the yard, climbing up the playhouse, sliding down the slide and knocking into a child who was waiting at the bottom of the slide. Once the child who was waiting at the bottom of the slide was bumped into by another child coming down the slide, they could run off and begin the course again. One girl was waiting at the bottom of the slide and the child who was supposed to slide down and bump into her was taking a really long time. The six-year-old girl at the bottom grew very impatient, placed her hand on her hip and said, "I'm not getting any younger down here!"
