Okay, first of all I'm not one of those over-protective parents who don't believe in meaningful employment for children. None of that, "But I'm only six ", crap. Get out there and make a contribution to society. And, if you can pay for some of those orthodontic visits...all the better.
What's that got to do with anything ? you might ask...well you might. Never the less, I was driving my daughter home from her job at the local public access television station during a rain storm. We saw a frog hopping down the side of the pavement and my daughter asked me were I thought the frog might be going.
I said that she (the frog) was going to Macy's to buy a hat to go with the scarf she had impulsively bought on black Friday.
"But, it will be a mistake, as all hats are since the invention of hair mouse'. No one wants to have hat hair. Also,when you try out the hat you make a "hat face". You know, you pucker up your lips and suck in your cheeks, then you ask total strangers 'How do I look?' Since you can't walk down the street like that, you have them put it in a box to take home".
I don't know about you, but I don't have the heart to tell some stranger that they look like a baboon's butt dressed up for a garden party or a constipated parrot going to a picnic. I always smile and give a "thumbs up" as I hurry away. Praying as I go that I don't see them again at Apple bee's having nachos and wearing that stupid hat.
My daughter looked at me and said,
"You really do over think things. I'm pretty sure the frog is just lost because everything is wet".
Kids, what are you going to do with them? *smile*
Peace and love to you all....
