It is time for a second installment of comments overheard and the stream-of-consciousness that follow in the Garard household . . .this time as older brother readies himself for Spring Concert/Musical . . .
"Mom, I have a hard time saying 'Relativity'"--that's okay honey, most people can't spell it either.
Younger brother to older brother upon surveying older brother's "costume"--"You should dress like that all of the time--it looks like a school uniform"--so, younger brother must not like older brother's taste in typical outfit of overworn generic underarmour shirts, fake dogtags and fedora?
"I need to make sure that I put enough of that stuff in my hair--because my wig will mess it up"--There is nothing one can think when their ten-year-old boy worries about this.
Messi--Greek for "Middle." Born as the middle child-- and one for whom peace and harmony are paramount--I often find myself "in the middle" of my family and friends, sifting through the richness of my Catholic faith, politically moderate and in the middle of five books and three projects at once. I have also spent 37 years learning the hard way that the Truth is often in the middle, and that sometimes a "mess" can be a beautiful thing.
