It is all my fault. Ok, maybe not all my fault.
Ever since I was a girl, and to this day Calvin and Hobbes has given me wisdom and insight into the world. Subtly, elegantly, the characters provoke new thoughts each time I read them. I realize that may sound silly and childish, however they contain depth and humor that I can't find elsewhere. I own two full sets of of the comics. One solely for me, and one to share with everyone else.
Some of my favourites are the ones with Calvin's Dad. He has such a unique way of parenting. His colorful explanations and disregard for his "slipping polls" make me giggle. There is one strip which is posted on my fridge. It consists of Calvin's Dad telling him about the future. He says that one day we will all be connected. Our phones and televisions, even the computers. How someday we will carry it all around with us, and miss the simplicity of letters in the mail.
Calvin's response; " I think I was born in the wrong century."
So here I am, calling, texting my twins and are we connecting? Nope.
They are blissfully ignoring the ring and buzz. Busy on the monkey bars.
Where they should be.
Still, would it kill them to Answer the Phone!
(Suddenly I am getting flashes of the future. Yikes)
Guess I'll go hang upside down for a bit.
