my eldest grandson
asked me to join a book club
that would include
just the two of us
and
the dtc
(deep thought club)
as well.
i’m very flattered .
though i’m behind in my reading
and
was very proud of myself
when i finally finished my book
and we had a good discussion about it.
then he told me there are 3 more in the series
and
i have my work cut out to keep up with him.
we’ve had many deep thought conversations
and i’ve tried to have some answers
but he usually has the best ideas
and
he’s 8 years old.
i’m very flattered that these are such exclusive clubs
and i was asked to be a member.
i’ll do my best.
the answer i found is you stay away from
the people who make fun of you,
and you join these ad hoc groups who understand
your craziness.

Membership does have its privileges in that one, Beth. You are one lucky grand, Peaches. ❤ He teaches you much!

As it relates to Ray’s observations; it’s been suggested that we could stand to be more like the weather in that the weather ignores its critics. I’ve often used a line from Waylon Jennings’ music, “I’ve always been crazy but it’s kept me from going insane.” Thanks for inspiring deep thought this morning, Beth:)

The best clubs to join are those with our grandchildren. 🙂 Your grandson is learning a powerful lesson regarding the value of reading and exploring new worlds through the written word.
