Are we boring you, Malachi?
Sometimes I start off the day reading through various things; news, stories, commentary, blogs, etc., and at the beginning I'm all excited with all these things running through my head, things I want to talk about and comment on and ask about. And then I continue through my google reader, reading other people's comments and more, and by the time I'm done I'm totally tired of it all and I have nothing more to say because a. anything worthwhile has been said already and b. everything stupid has also been said and c. I'm totally annoyed by it all anyway, who are all these people who think anyone cares about reading their two cents on everything?
What is wrong with me? Just information overload or what?
Goodbye forever.
(Joke. Ha. As if you could get rid of me.)
P.S. Is that what my kids are feeling at the end of the day, having been a captive audience, stuck with me, scolded and talked at and preached to for 14 hours?
And that reminds me of a story. We were driving around returning dishes after people brought us meals when Daisy was born (thanks everyone!) and Sebby went up to the door with one of them. The lady opened her door and took the dish and then stood outside and talked to Sebby for several minutes. They both appeared to be conversing quite animatedly, and when he got back to the car, I said curiously, "What was she saying to you, Seb?"
He answered without much interest, "Oh . . . just some words . . ."
Go Sebby. I love that.
ReplyDeleteOne of the reasons why I hate institutional education is just that: what grown-up would stand for being shoved into a school desk and made to memorize a bunch of unrelated and wearing information for six straight hours a day? But it's GOOD FOR KIDS. All that holding still. Let's see: obesity epidemic - and considering the way the county is going - stupidity epidemic as well . . .
