Star Gazing Should be Shared
Nobody Flashes
The other day at my local pool, the mother of a boy who used to hang out quite a lot with my son, was telling a story to a group of women…
“And THEN he told me that when he spent the night, they stayed up until THREE IN THE MORNING watching fallen stars on her ROOF!”
Okay. Call me bad. I saw nothing wrong with taking a few blankets, some snacks, and two 8-year-olds up on a roof to watch a meteor shower. We had a blast, between the three of us we counted over 200 sightings. But it still bugs that poor woman to this day. Imagine if some meteor had fallen on my house! I mean, it’s not as if I wasn’t making sure they didn’t ‘fall’ off.
Does she think I did that for the kids? HA! No, she knew me all too well. I wanted some company. Besides, everyone should do that at least once in life, and kids never forget it either.
I only wish I had a group of 8-year-olds this weekend to join me in sky watching…I don’t. But, that shouldn’t stop YOU!
