War and flowers
Driving to the farm today. Passing the statue downtown and the flags on the pole.
Little J: Mommy tell me again who those persons on the black flag are.
Me: It represents prisoners of war.
Little J: I forgot, why do bad guy take them?
Me: In war both sides capture soldiers so they can use them in negotiations.
Little J: What is negotions?
Me: Negotiations. It is when you have something and you make the other side do things you want them to in exchange for what you have. Like me offering you cookies for dessert if you eat your dinner.
Little J: I see. So how do you negotiate with prisoners?
Me: They release our soldiers if we meet their demands. Like give them back a territory we are fighting for or return some of their soldiers.
Little J: Why do people fight in war?
Me: Because they cannot agree on things. Like who should be in charge or who does the land belong to.
Little J: Why do we fight about land? There is so much of it.
Me: There is usually something special about that land. It might be rich with oil or coal. Or things grow on it.
Little J: Like carrots? Or berries? Maybe blueberries or raspberries or blackberries? Or maybe daisies?
Me: I don’t think there has been a war about daisies yet son. But I think it is silly to fight, no matter what the reason.
Little J: Why do people fight?
Me: Because they don’t agree about something. Just like you and I don’t, lots of times. But unlike us, they cannot let go and fight for so long they start wars.
Little J: That’s silly. I really think they should change. Will people change?
Me: Not sure. I hope so. But it takes time. Maybe some day, maybe never. That’s life.
Little J: I thought life is a highway?
And just like that my boy made me laugh to tears.
I hope all you grown ups out there are listening and stop fighting about daisies.
Monday Listicles
Spring is here.
I can tell because everything is blooming and people seem cheerful. Also because I am scrambling to write this in time after a weekend spent in the back yard, planting. Followed by evenings spent panicking about having to wear short sleeves soon. But I will worry about this later.
First there is a small matter of Listicles. Last time we talked road and you came up with some amazing lists. I enjoyed reading them all and can’t wait to see what kind of silly celebrity comparisons you come up with this week.
Before all that I need to tell you something truly shocking. While reading Deborah’s list last week I realized we have never done a list of 10 books! Outrageous, no? So to restore balance in universe and blogoland, next week we are doing A LIST OF 10 BOOKS. Feel free to put your spin on it.
And now, insipred by trashy magazines:
Make a list, check it twice, link it up. Read others. Have fun!
10 reasons celebrities are just like us
1. They wake up every morning.
Then they probably get it on with their celebrity lover. How they do that without peeing of brushing teeth first is beyond me.
2. They have breakfast.
Except they drink their coffee while it is still hot.
3. They go to work.
Singing, dancing, acting, or just playing themselves in a reality show must be very hard work. I never tried it, so I cannot tell.
4. They go to Starbucks
They go in, order and walk out with their beverage. But I doubt they feel as guilty as I do for spending $4.25.
5. They shop.
Probably more like Rodeo Dr and less Gap outlet on sale.
6. They drive cars
But they don’t have superfly minivans like me.
7. They fall in love and get married
Except they can afford a divorce when the going get’s tough and give up too soon.
8. They tweet and post photos on Instagram
Only they are not near as funny or talented as the bloggers I follow.
9. They grow old
But they don’t have the joy or doing it naturally.
10. Their feet sweat too.

I look just like that ( in my mind) when I get my latte. Image source
