Sticks and Stones

Yesterday was a rough day for Max. Max faced a tearful separation from Lucy early in the morning. He was crushed to discover that you had to be 3 years old to attend “Nana Camp” and as a result he would not be joining his sister for the long journey to Nacogdoches. He cried at length after Lucy left and spent most of the day wandering around the house like a boat without a captain. His whole world seemed to be crumbling around him. Then later in the evening he ran into David’s office to tell him that dinner was ready when he slipped on the wood floor and went face first into David’s Aeron desk chair. The result was a black eye that any boy could be proud of. Let’s hope his week improves.

  1. Aw, poor kiddo! That is a shiner to be proud of. I love that line, “boat without a captain”–I may steal that one!

  2. I agree, poor Max. At least Mom got a picture of his battle wounds!
