I had a heart-warming conversation with Jacob this morning on the way to school. It went like this…
I had the radio on and was listening to Hurricane Rita news.
Jacob: "Mom, is there another hurricane?"
Me: "Yes."
J: "Where is it going this time?"
M: (trying to be diplomatic) "To Texas, but the very bottom of Texas."
pause
J: "Will it go to Austin?" (we have family there)
M: "Nope!"
another long pause
J: "Frisco is a great place to live. We don’t have hurricanes here, we don’t have volcanoes, we don’t have tornadoes, we don’t even have rain very much! I wish everyone lived in Frisco."
Wouldn’t it be nice if everyone could live in a place like Frisco!? Wouldn’t it be nice to be a child again and think that not having rain was a good thing…to think that your town was the safest place in the world…to think that everyone could live there together in peace…?
