We Are Digging To China

Back to stories three
We have a large yard in the country. When my boys were in elementary school they had a lot of energy to say the least. They each had their own shovel and would spend their spare time digging a deep hole wide enough for all three to stand in. Their father would come home from work and play with them Both he and I would joking ask our kids “are you digging to China?”.

Their cousin came over one day and saw the deep hole and asked them what they were doing and they responded, “digging to china, ha ha”.

Several days past and of course they are still digging. Two friends of the family come over one afternoon, They happen to be oriental. Anyway they took an interest in the fun the kids were having with their excavation project and head out to the backyard to check it out. Soon everyone is inside the hole and from the house you could barely see the tops of their heads.

At this point their cousin comes back over and walks out to the backyard, asking “Hey kids did you ever make it to china, ha ha” Out pops the two oriental girls to see where the voice was coming from.

You shoud have seen the look on their cousins face!
