Finally! Something That Makes Sense!!!

     

  Sunday comics, show up in my blog life. Non-Sequitur by Wiley is one I lean towards with pleasure.
         Here is my brief description, you really need to see the pictures!!
         Little girl, looking out of her window at a true bluebird. Hmmmmmm.
         Girl to dad, Hey, I was just wondering....why are bluebirds blue
         Dad to girl, Because they eat mostly blueberries, Its their best defense against cats
         Girl thinking, Oh, Wait, What?
         Dad reading the paper, well as eveyone knows, cats hate blueberries, so their color lets cats know that they're full of blueberries, and then cats leave them alone
         Girl thinking, hmmm, ummmmm
         Girl screaming, Finally! Something that makes sense!
         Sister on couch next to dad, also reading, Her future therapist will be secretly thanking you for providing a steady income
          Dad never looking up from the paper, sigh, OK...OK....but I just couldn't resist....
          Little girl who started this conversation.... Hey....will eating blueberries turn me blue....

          Today on this hot June afternoon, I'm still thinking about that cartoon and smiling.
          Something so simple to a child, and they believe. I would hope by becoming an adult we see things more clearly without losing the innocence. I also hope when we are talking to kids, we can make up a story and somehow be more truthful. Certainly the age of child, dictates our decision. Imagination is a critical tool, and so is the truth. (This election season, seems to be lost to so many) ( Simple truth, and good manners, with a good story thrown in) ( what has happened to people)
          Back to my thoughts......Bluebirds eating blueberries and cats hating blueberries, makes sense to me. It is a darling tale, simple and sweet.
          Can real life hold these moments for any length of time? Maybe not, but for a brief minute, you have to grab them. Pay attention to goodness around you, and walk away from toxic fumes all over the place!
          Turn off the TV and computer ( I will turn it off, as soon as, I finish) ( I promise)
          Put your feet in some water, let the sun bake the meanness out of you, and wonder.
          I wonder why my hydrangeas are blooming so much this year, I think they may have eaten some blueberries!! It makes sense!!
 
         ( spell check is not working) ( well it probably is, but...)
         ( all grammar errors, are done for decorative purposes!)

I love this kid
