Another Season
Another Place
A Stolen Dialogue

T: There has just been SO much to celebrate this week.

Me: Oh? Like what?

T: Well, I got my cast off, my wiggly tooth finally came out, Evan did really well in Creating a Scene and the show was very good, I get to go to a sleepover, Jonathan and Renee Stevens are coming by on Saturday AND I get to buy some cards! (comic book cards)

Me: Smile....

And then, we were talking about how amazing it is that permanent teeth come in the way that they do and that for kids with Down Syndrome, they come in in a different order.

Theo: Oh? Why is it so?
Me: They don't know.

Theo: Fascinating, though. I didn't know! 
Then, with his hand on the door, he says, "So many 'o''s"

Me: OK, Theo!
We both laugh.

The problem with a blog is that one has to check back to see if one is repeating oneself...one might be...but whatever!!!

Years ago, my friend had an orange cat...a bit of a malevolent orange cat but then...one mustn't generalize. She loved him. She was also taking care of a fan-tailed dove...a beautiful creature. She went off on a holiday and when she returned much to her horror, the dove had escaped from its cage and was running around on the floor. The cat was...just...sitting...watching.

She screamed in horror and the startled dove ran to the cat for protection.

I can't tell the story that reminded me of this but...sometimes one is not as fragile as one would seem!

On another note...magic comes and goes. A friend phoned today to say that she had sold her cottage up north. I sit here smiling at some excellent weekends I spent there. But I have learned that there will be magic to replace it...
