Only One

Tonight at group there were astronomers kindly sharing their expertise and their equipment.

Kids everywhere, and Hope was the only one who managed to trip over the cord of the laptop computer linked to the really expensive telescope and nearly destroy both.  Because Hope was the only one who skipped around and around the table after I told her three times to stop.  (It was dark, I didn’t know there was a cord.  Or I’d have grabbed her when she didn’t listen.  I just knew skipping around the table was a bad idea.)

Everyone I know who doesn’t have children, knows a thousand and one ways to get Hope under control.  Those I know who have children–shake their heads and say things like, “Better you than me.”

Despite the excitement, I did cut 500 words tonight.  yay me.
