Why I love my kids #117

As we finish getting ready for school today, we watch the morning news for updates from Hurricane Katrina. Yes, as a family, we like to pay attention to such important events, and how they may affect us.

Newsperson on TV: "[...] two people are dead in Ft. Lauderdale because of trees falling on them due to winds from Hurricane Katrina..."

Kiki: "Awww... trees falling down, Mom."

Is it completely and totally selfish that all I can think about is that I am going to Key West in November and I hope Katrina or her subsequent siblings don't destroy it before I get there???

Isn't that amazing? We're so used to the news reporting death, that TREES stick out now.

That's what hit home to her because of what happened to her tree. That's what was real. That Kiki is the best.

I would expect that the falling down trees are rough for the trees and the poor people caught underneath them; either way, painful and sad.
