Claire (7yrs): Mom, I watched TV at Memommie’s house today.
Me: <shrug> Not too much, I hope.
Claire: No, but Mom, there are things we REALLY need to buy!!!
Me: <oh no>
Claire: <excited> So, you know the people that make things for your feet?!! Well, now they’re making things for your head, but there are wings on them.
Me: Huh?
Claire: And they flap!
Me: I’m so confused.
Claire (annoyed at my ignorance): Just take me to Target and I’ll find it.
Me: -_-
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.
