Oh, wow, Kristin. That's a good one.
Home schooling? You know, it's not just for scary religious people anymore.

The status is NOT quo.
Thanks Sail. In a more coherent state, I fixed the last line.

Oh, yes. That change made a big difference. I still like it, but better!

Always Anti-fascist!
Topic? I ran across one in my endless surfing..."The last thing you touched," Which could be a dog if everyone writes about her/his mouse, but I suppose you wouldn't have to take "thing" or "touched" literally.

That's a good one, erika! We'll go with that.
Challenge #87 (two people, running) is now closed.
Challenge #88 is the last thing you touched.
Don't get overly literal and write about your keyboard, por favor.

Hmph. I just went to the bathroom. I think I'm going to have to think this one over.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
The Last Thing I Touched
Paper angels attached to toys and clothing. A dump truck, a winter coat. A doll, a stuffed animal. Toys for babies and bikes for kids. Some gifts extravagant, some very simple.
I move the ever growing pile from an empty cubicle to an empty storeroom. The sheer volume of them astounds me.
Gifts for unknown children from unknown adults. Feelings and tears well up inside my chest. What is this I feel? What are these things I have touched? Toys and clothing only?
No. It is hope.
I have touched hope.
Generosity.
Love.
Charity.
And the true meaning of Christmas.

Awwww, Aimee. That's so sweet.

No, you don't. Especially after Aimee gets all heart-felt and everything.

Awww. Aimee, that's fabulous.
