Thankful, [personal profile] projectmothra style

As is traditional for schoolchildren at this time of year, R. was asked to put together a list of things for which he was thankful.

His list featured: bacteria, elements, electricity, and equal rights.

He expressed some confusion at his peers who mostly expressed appreciation for their families, pets, media devices, and sports.

And much as there's a teeny bit of wry sadness at "Mom" not making the short list, I have to admit, in the grand scheme of things, bacteria are really more important.

Conformity is over-rated. I'm kinda happy that electricty and equal rights are out there too.

... although, honestly, I am thankful for family, but not probably for nearly the same reasons.

I also want to add Goat's Hair Brushes and Watercolor Pencils to the list of things I'm thankful for! ... I probably should do it on my own journal, though.
