Paradise (Really) Lost

Remember the story of Adam & Eve? It goes something like this: God says to Adam, "Adam, look over here! Look at this cool tree! See that fruit? It's for you! Eat that fruit! Oh, and over here - look over here! This one is pretty! Eat this fruit! Yeah! But that tree over there...that one's yucky. Blah! Don't eat from that one. But you can eat from ANY OTHER TREE in the whole garden, okay? ... Adam? ... Adam are you listening to me??"




Fast forward a few thousand years and you get our version: "Munchkin, look over here! Look at this cool toy! See this one? It's for you! Use this one! Oh, and over here - look over here! This one is fun! Play with this one? Yeah! But that toy over there...that one you don't need.... You can play with ANY OTHER TOY in the whole house! You don't need the one your sister is using! Okay? ... Munchkin? ... Munchkin are you listening to me??"

Happy December!

It's December. I don't have to post today. But I have gotten into the habit of sitting down at the computer during the 11 o'clock hour. I thought about continuing with the daily blogs - I especially like December's challenge - give something to someone everyday and then blog about it. Fun idea, but I think my brain needs a rest. And you probably want a break so you can focus on the holidays. On the other hand, if you want to comment everyday in December - feel free! In fact, I dare you! If nothing else, drop my hubby a line and congratulate him on his job promotion! Enjoy December!
