We this visited the kid's joke today:
"Why is 6 afraid of 7?"
Answer: "Because 7, 8, 9."*
I've always struggled with the wisdom of that one. I figured, why profile 7? Why should I assume that 7 was capable of numeric cannibalism just because he was a previous offender? Perhaps he has been reformed. Perhaps 9 provoked the savage actions of the number 7. I guess I figured 8 lives next door to this number. Why can't 6 show faith in the system and continue to live next door without triple locking the door?
Joelle had the answer to that. "6 looks just like 9, just turned upside down." She's right. I now believe that 6 would be the obvious choice for 7 to snack on. If I were 6, I would move. Perhaps to Colorado.
Blessings: More wisdom from conversations with a 9 year-old and a 6 year-old.
We spotted a beautiful fox and it was not squished like the deer.
We met the nicest older couple from Winter Haven. They were fellow members of the Kingdom of God. Mollie gave the man a hug. If you've ever gotten a hug on the leg from a one-year old, you've been blessed.

*I have no idea who to credit with that joke. If you invented it, would you take the credit?
