Proper Equipment to Fight

Posted on July 16, 2013 by Christi

Claire (6yrs): Mom, my birthday is coming up.

Me: Yup.

Me: Uh huh. Mental note taken.

Claire: Because, you see, picking out the right gifts for a growing girl is a serious matter.

Me: Oh yeah? Might I need your help?

Claire: Possibly so. There IS something I’ve wanted for ever SO LONG.

Me: And what is that?

Claire: A bow and arrow set.

Me: Huh. That actually sounds really fun.

Claire: I just CAN’T dress up like a princess and not have the proper equipment to fight. I need to be a FIGHTING PRINCESS. To protect people.

About Christi

I am a single mother with two young daughters who are the world to me. I am a philosophy professor, especially fond of Kierkegaard and Augustine. Presently, I teach as an adjunct at a plethora of colleges in the Houston area, trying to make ends meet. Creating art brings me immense joy, but only recently have I begun to venture into the arena of making my creations a consumer commodity. I'd rather my work be created as a good in itself, and given to those I love. But necessity breeds invention, they say, and human beings have to eat.

    My 6 and 3 year olds have been begging for the exact same thing!
