You get a big box in the mail. Since your son has had so much fun playing with all the boxes left over from moving, you think of something nice to do for him. So you pull out an old CD and your box cutter and go to town on the box; cutting several small circular holes along the sides of it. You go as far as to plan to paint it yellow and maybe even add a few more boxes to make a submarine for him to crawl through. But then you let him play in just the box with the three holes that you've finished so far, and you discover that your two year old has no idea what a submarine is. However, he will spend quite a while making his little sister giggle happily by peeking through the holes and saying "peek-a-boo" over and over and over. It's a good day.
Life is simple, no need to make it complicated.
