You know back when you were a kid and you're neighbor, Mrs. McWhatzerface fell down those stairs and broke her leg? And how it was the biggest thing that had happened on your street, ever? And then the next week everyone was still talking about it until little Johnny Whozit from accross the way came home from the war and had a Purple Heart for losing his leg? And the very next day when farmer Idontar Emembers pet hamster had been run over by the "bad" neighbors steamroller?
And then all of a sudden nobody remembered that Mrs. McWhatzerface had a broken leg and that they promised to bring her meals and go shopping for her and bring her mail up from the box?
Yep. The war in Afghanistan is officially old news.
Not to me. It is very big news.
ReplyDeleteBut, you are right. With Japan and Libya and everything else, I certainly don't hear about stuff going on over there. (But that isn't saying much since you know how much of a news junky I am) I am very proud of you and grateful for all you are doing. Your girls are proud too. Love you!
Oh, and that stuff never happened in my neighborhood. Where did you grow up again?
