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.

I ♥ Rhys so much. And I really think Daniel would understand so many things - I hope you guys get to come up and they can talk. Daniel has similar issues with his peers just not getting him, and with wanting to give the intellectual rather than emotional answer.
