All I ever needed to know I learned in Kindergarten



Wow, it's amazing.Amazing what spending all day playing in a sand box with a three-year-old can do for your outlook on life.I'm still screwed up - that hasn't changed. And in a way, it's kind of bad because it makes me want to have kids even more, which feeds my "I need a relationship" mentality.But mostly, it just re-affirms the things I love about life. And brings out age-old wisdoms such as:"It's ok, mom, it's just dirt. It'll all wash off, I promise"or "I found my blue dinosaur! Now everything will always be okay"or "Fairy, that's not a sand-pile, there's a _truck_ under there! You can't fool me"or "Careful, gramma, there's so many candles on your birthday cake! There's a fire ban here, you know."Some profound, some not so much. But regardless, it's like water to someone dying in the desert. I think I might have found the strength to face what's going on with me, and fix it. For him, if nothing else.
