Some relatives of ours got a nice wooden game when their first baby was born. The instructions on the game read as follows:
“Let the baby guess you shoot the color in the checkerboard position, and deepens in the game to the color position distinguishes the ability, inspires baby’s thought space.”
I wish I’d thought to take a photo of the actual game when we saw it at a post-Christmas party. The parents said they never really figured out how the game was supposed to be played, which isn’t surprising considering the word salad instructions. Well, translation from one language into another isn’t always easy.
I was really captivated by the final phrase “inspires baby’s thought space.” It’s awkward and poetic at the same time. I like to imagine telling someone that the book I just read inspired my thought space. Or being at an art gallery and commenting to another visitor, “I just love that painting – what an inspiration to my thought space!” And don’t we all need to have our thought spaces inspired?

If your thought space was inspired by this post, let me know. Otherwise, it gets shot to the checkerboard position and deepened. And we all know what that means.
Are you sure this was translated from a foreign language? I remember hearing that James Joyce, the renowned author, started his career as a Technical Writer. Maybe this was one of his? P. S. Do not try to fact-check this ridiculous claim of mine.

My thought space was thoroughly confused with that. However it doesn’t take a whole lot to confuse my thought space. My 10 year old grandchild was trying to teach me a new game this past weekend….wasn’t making a whole lot of sense to me…..maybe it wasn’t supposed to make sense….😐

The thought space definitely gets crowded the older you get! Not a lot of room to cram new things in. 😂
