Nov 23 06: field report: minneapolis (3)
Today as we took our walk I got to tell Avery the story of Cinderella and the Three Little Pigs. It involved a Ninja Godmother and the following dialogue:
“Now you’re ready to go to the ball! Be sure to be home by midnight, dear.”
“Midnight? Awwww.”
“Okay, 12:30. But no later.”
Eventually the Magic Shoes were driven mad by the presence of pigs—it was one of the rules: no pigs ever—and Cinderella, in order to get home in time and escape suddenly-gigantic rampaging footwear, caught a cab home. The end. It was one of those stories where you suddenly realize you’ve got more plot ideas in one place than is really healthy. But we had a good time.
It is Thanksgiving. I am thankful for the family in whose arms I am sheltered, and for the family (by blood, by chance, by choice) scattered abroad whom I keep in my heart. I am thankful.
Commentary
The feeling is mutual, my dear. xoxo
