Missed Opportunity
My youngest child said something quite humorous the other day. Unfortunately, I can’t think of what it was right now! This is why I try to write things down as often as possible–so I won’t miss sharing the moments that make me smile.
I just finished reading Cheaper by the Dozen, by Frank B. Gilbreth, Jr., and Ernestine Gilbreth Carey (Thomas Y. Crowell Company, New York, 1948). What a delightful book! I’ve seen the recent movie rendition, starring Steve Martin and Bonnie Hunt, which I found hilarious (Hunt does a wonderful job, as does Martin), but this book is really good, if not better (the book’s always better).
Cheaper by the Dozen reads like a journal almost. It’s like someone sat with these two authors and jotted down their memories. Each chapter could be a Christmas letter for that year. It reminds me much of how I like to write. Perhaps someday…
