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…?
