Year of writing 160. Perspective and the moose.

6/9/12

This evening after I read Isla her story, I asked her what she would do if she woke up and was a princess.  Without skipping a beat, she replied with "what would you do if you woke up and you were a moose?" 

That really got me thinking.  I really am glad to be a human being.  If I woke up tomorrow and I was a moose, I'd have to seriously change my life around.  No more writing or video games, or anything else requiring opposable thumbs. And what would Tegan say when she woke up next to a moose?  We live right down the street from this guy (who happens to be my old boss at the Jolly Kone restaurant): 



That would make things pretty tough for me, since I'd be a moose in a previously mooseless town.  I'd probably be shot and mounted on somebody's wall by noon.  So, thanks Isla for making me gain some lost perspective on how lucky I am not to be a moose.
