I was raised to be completely self-sufficient as far as entertaining myself goes. My mom loved to read and was not about to spend her valued free time entertaining me. I am very good at entertaining myself and I have too many hobbies and interest vying for my time so I am not about to entertain my children with my highly valued free time. It's safe to say my kids are also good self entertainers.
McCoy found this rock on a school field trip and brought it home. He realized he could make it a pet that his mom would let him keep. So he drew a cheery face on it and can now say if asked, yes he has a pet (rock)! Plus I'm sure he had a great time creating him, I wouldn't really know as I wasn't involved with it as I'm sure I was doing a equally fulfilling craft of my own.
