Chicken Little on camping:
"Mom, do you think nature is beautiful?"
"Yes. I think nature is very beautiful."
"Well, nature is not beautiful to me. Stupid trees."

She Who (Eventually) Blooms
- Blooming Eventually
- Me: mother, wife and writer recently sideswiped by 40. The writer part used to come first, the 40 used to be a 30, and marriage and motherhood were abstract activities I thought I’d try someday. Growing up. If only it was the thrill promised when we were six. I started this blog two years ago to chronicle my quest to publish a book. Who would have dreamed it would actually work? I have two books coming out this year. Far out. Still, this living-and-succeeding thing is experimental theatre, and the question remains—will I bloom, eventually? Or will I ditch the whole writing thing, adopt a xanax habit, abandon my own identity and live the rest of my life vicariously through my children? Hmm, let’s find out.
We just got back from camping too, and finding your blog was timely. Absolutely hilarious commentary (I could have heard my four-year-old daughter say the same thing). I'm always amazed that we are having a truly beautiful nature moment, and ten minutes later walking by train tracks or something, THEN she'll say, "This is so pretty!"
ReplyDeleteI'm blogging in Bend too, with a different twist. Nice to find you! Keep up the great words!
Hi Cheryl! What amazes me is how early kids begin to contradict you just for the sake of an individual opinion. Because I know she really likes trees! At least I think she does.
ReplyDeleteanyway, great to see you here. I checked out your blog and your photos are wonderful. hope you are enjoying our Bend summer...
