I don't have kids. I have a niece who's 14 now.
When she was 3, she asked if I wanted a bracelet. I eould have been 30 at the time, and I'm a guy. But my niece was asking me if I wanted a bracelet, so I said yes.
She pulls out these pink pipe cleaner twisty ties for arts and crafts. Then she put some beads on it.
She had a method. I have no idea what the method was, but she was like "first this one, and then this one".
She was describing what each bead meant, and why they were in that exact order. I wore the bracelet all day. And when I got home, I put it on my doorknob. I've moved since then, so it's a different doorknob, but it's still on my doorknob to this day.
