The Crazy Peanut

At a preschool potluck recently, the teachers had made and set out books of the children's work. One in particular caught my eye, "Peanuts With Personality". The title page announced, "our peanuts have feelings" and on each page was a construction paper peanut decorated by the child followed by a declaration by the child on how their peanut was feeling. As I flipped through the book looking for my kids peanut I was struck by how they were all pretty much the same:
Tyler's peanut is happy.
Maya's peanut is happy.
Alex's peanut is happy and shy.
Fiona's peanut is happy.
Andrew's peanut is happy and polite.

And so it went for ten children, until I got to the last page, where I finally reached Alison's peanut.

Alison's peanut is crazy.



I finally decided to start a blog, not because I feel I am witty or clever, but because my three crazy peanuts are. If the past seven years are any indication, I will definitely not have a lack of material to write about. Enjoy!
