The Anecdotal Life Part. 15
During the moving process I will continue with excerpts from my book, "Choo Choo and Cohorts". Occasionally, I will get back to current anecdotes as they arise. This week has been fairly peaceful so this excerpt is from Chapter 2, "Malignant Darling". This is the end of the chapter. "It ought to be unusual for a two and a half-year-old to know angst or to contemplate the nature of evil, but that satanic meteor named Jonathon clarified those concepts early on for Choo.
Yet he always forgave him, always watched mesmerized as this miniature Lucifer recreated the world according to his own dark definition, hauling Choo unwillingly, but helplessly from one pile of rubble to another. All of which Choo paid for , each and every time, philosophically and hopelessly, mired in a friendship encouraged by both mothers, and really, would he have walked away?
As he grew older he accepted Jonathon's hypnotic hold on him and his own deeply embedded fascination with catastrophe."
Now I am off to wash and wax my boat and try to con someone into a second lesson. It is our jillionth beautiful day this spring. I always call it "Michigan weather".
