There is a Doctor Seusse book called “Would you rather be a bull frog or a butterfly”. My parents bought it for me when I was a kid, and now my kids (particularly Meg) love it. The premise is that you are given a choice of being one of two things. You need to say which thing you would rather be.

My sister has turned this into quite a game with Meg. They take turns of asking “would you rather be…” and then answering.

A few months ago, Meg posed the following: “Would you rather be a flying princess or a toiletries bag?”. Talk about a hard choice! Whilst we all thought the obvious choice would have been flying princess, Meg would rather be a toiletry bag! Perhaps toiletry bags are exciting to 3 year olds.

Recently for Meg’s birthday, my sister (who is sickeningly artistic and clever) made Meg her very own “Would you rather be…” book. It is doubly clever when you realise that all the choices she has given in the book relate to Meg and her likes and dislikes.

I am going to miss my family when we move to the farm!

Would you rather be a flying princess or a toiletries bag? Let me know in the comments, and don’t forget to give a reason for your choice!
