Who Decided?

Who decided wrinkles are unattractive and to be avoided at all costs? What if we’re thinking backward on this issue?
Where is it written that a baby’s skin is the ideal? What if the skin of a baby is really under-done and the ideal is a mature-looking face? What if we looked at a baby’s soft, flawless complexion and thought, “Oh, that’s too bad. Well, give it time.”
Nothing In My Ears
I have a great deal of respect for the medical profession. My mom was a nurse and some of my favorite doctors are…doctors. But I can’t be the first to wonder if some have excess wax build-up in their ears that inhibits their ability to listen. (Same principle might apply to car repairmen, husbands, and children.)
The Saddest Story I Ever Heard
Girl Days with a precocious five-year-old granddaughter. This particular day, from her safety seat in the back she noted it was important I keep both hands on the wheel. She commented on every building we passed as she accompanied me on errands, remembering with scary accuracy if and when she’d ever been there before.
Sticks and Stones
What if we were given an assignment to create fresh “old” adages? New famous old sayings.
Sticks and stones may break my bones…but they can also make a lovely centerpiece, according to HGTV.
Hallowed or Hollowed?
We arrived at our ladies’ Bible study at the same moment and, as good Christians do, fought over who would let the other go ahead into the room.
“No, you first.”
“No, you.”
“I insist.”
“Well, thank you.”
“Love your new tote bag.”
“Thanks. I had to get a new one. Carrying both my study guide and my Bible every week split the bottom seam on my old tote,” I told her as we both headed for the most comfortable chair and mutely decided neither of us would take it.
