CHAPTER FIVE
"How about 'I Spy'?" asked Mommy. "No…"
"'20 Questions'?" asked Daddy.
"No…" Emma trailed off. After a few moments, her face lit up in a smile. "I know! Let's play 'Going on a Picnic'. I'll start."
Emma thought for a minute. "I'm going on a picnic and I'm bringing-Arthur!" Arthur was Emma's favorite Teddy bear from the day she was born.
Daddy smiled. "I'm going on a picnic, and I'm bringing Arthur and my baseball glove," he said, referring to the old leather glove he'd had since he played baseball as a child.
Mommy continued, "I'm going on a picnic, and I'm bringing Arthur, a baseball glove and my china." Mommy's china was the set of elegant dinner plates she received as her wedding gift.
The family continued with the game-- naming all of their most treasured possessions they were bringing along with them to Mapleton-- as they drove towards their new life.
