we don’t do colored eggs and bunnies in this house,
at least not on easter weekend.
instead we encourage Hope and Love,
laughter and compassion,
and happy hearts.
we try to keep this up year-round, so when the schools
celebrate things in fun ways, we’re down with it.
most recently celebrated was dr. seuss’ birthday.
that’s when my 9 yr old son
said he needed a
full sized tail that he can wear all day
by first thing the next morning. then what’s a mama to do?
braid one, that’s what.
out of something light and airy like
my only regret is that i looped the long strands i cut,
through his back belt loop, so the tail had to be cut clean off before the faded jeans
got washed and dried that night.
next year i’ll know better.
