There were a few kids playing on Estrella (the Museum’s Super Chairwoman) and one of them was sitting up high saying, "I'm a king! I'm a king!" He was very excited and seemed to be having a great time playing with his friends. On my way into Discovery Studio, I smiled at him and asked him if he was having fun. He smiled back at me, wiped his brow and said, "I always have fun when I sweat." I knew just what he meant.

We were in Fefa's market one afternoon examining a component that needed
a little fixing. We were so focused on the component that we hardly
noticed the visitors playing all around us. One little girl at the cafe
counter looked right at us and exclaimed, "Hey, are you going to order
something or what?" We immediately snapped to and ordered something off
the menu. She made us some delicious papaya shakes. – Robin, Exhibits Director
A 9-year-old was in Coming to Rhode Island with a heap of plastic apples, clams, onions, etc. in her arms, heading toward the Colonial gallery. "Those French people took the Pilgrims' food!," she said.

A 4-year-old boy named Caleb and I were playing in Water Ways, making a road for a dragon from sand bags and the maze tubes. Towards the end of our building adventure, Caleb's mom wanted him to try making a boat move through the maze. Caleb looked up and said, "Kids are smarter than grown-ups because kids know how to play better." His mother and I shared a big laugh and she looked at him and said, "You're right!"
