The kids created BFC today. That stands for Button Family City. They stripped their beds, pushed mattresses together, created tunnels and forts. They manipulated their pillows and sheets to create areas.
The best part, though, is that they created a Constitution and held elections and made laws. Garett was elected Mayor and Judge, Marissa was the policeman and Tate was the City Planner. They created a system of taxes that was above my level of understanding. I did appreciate their style of democracy: they all had to put their hands in a circle and agree to whatever "amendments" to the Constitution was proposed. So far, every amendment has passed. They each had to govern their own "areas" but were allowed to sell "passes" for 3 cents. They even made up some free passes to hand out to each other.
It became very complex when both boys decided to create hotels in their "areas" and tried to get business from Marissa. Tate offered a buy one night, get another night free but Garett outbid him when he offered the same thing with an additional incentive: a free massage.
They are all snuggled down in their areas and hotels and sound asleep. We'll see what Mother Democracy has in store for them tomorrow.
