tales from the end of the world
This past week it was almost impossible not to consider the end of the world which was to happen on
12-21. We began saying things like, this is the last time you will have to go to school forever, the last time we will get the mail for all enternity, the last chance you will have to bathe the dog for all time and so on. It made us laugh of course but each of these activties seemed to have more significance just by noting it as the last. Driving to dance class yesterday Rosie said. So, do you think the world will really end tomorrow Mom? Well, some people think it will but I have a feeling that we will still be here, I answered. I guess we'll find out for sure tomorrow right kiddo? Rosie said, I'm supposed to go on my field trip tomorrow. (that darn school, why did they have to plan a field trip for that day) Oh that's right, you're going to adventure zone, that's a fun place... But, if the world ends you would probably want to be near your family, right darling? She shook her head and said with certainty, If the world ends tomorrow, I'm going to be at adventure zone. I admired her determination, the last field trip, as good a place as any to spend the end of the world. Just then the last sunset started looking very special and so I pulled the car over to capture it. Later we arrived at the dance school. Enjoy your last dance class I said to my last child as Rosie went inside.
