Ok. this one is for all of the moms and Grandmoms out there who visit my blog and in doing so live vicariously through me.
Just when I thought my daughter Breanna had challenged me one too many times today, I walked into the Hearth Room and saw this. "So what?" you say, "It's just another kid wearing a Wal-Mart plastic bag." That is where you have gone wrong. This child told me that she was wearing this "Oxygen Tank" so that she could go on her Mission to Space. Now if you have shopped at Target you know that they have chosen to place on the side of their bags "10 ways to reuse your plastic bag". I will list them for those of you who are not familiar with them.
1. Tiny Trash Can Liner
2. Doggy Duty
3. Water Balloon
4. Road Trip Rubbish
5. Soggy Laundry
6. Ice Pack
7. Toiletry Tote
8. Kitty Litter Liner
9. Tomorrow's Lunch Bag
10. Care Package Padding
Nowhere do I see make believe "Oxygen Tank". Maybe we are all missing something. Could it be that these "mature eyes" that we have earned though the years are no longer working as well as our children's. Maybe we need to stop looking at just the obvious and look beyond the obvious. Jesus teaches us to come to Him like little children. I wonder if this is because little children are still able to see the wonder and amazement in almost anything - Even a Wal-Mart plastic Bag!
