Hell’s Half Acre

So we’re making sand castles or forts as we do daily, and Ellen, feeling not so hot remarks that they probably won’t last 100,000 years. “No”, I agree, “they won’t”. “How about our family?” “No, we won’t last 100,000 years either.” “Even this city?” “Well, probably not.” “Not even this world, or this universe?” “Hmm…not sure; maybe not.” “Not even CANADA???”

Apparently, Canada ranks pretty high with this 4 year old.

The other day she asked me who would die first. Papa, Tata, her or our family. Golly, what a hard question. She really wanted an answer too; she wouldn’t be swayed with what I’d like or anything. Sorry, Mom. I went with age.

I’ll try to post more frequently, even if it is nothing, but regularly update Flickr even when I don’t post.
