Fear and oddities

Our Weekend Memoirs: Little Boy White
Please scroll down for Sunday Stealing

Night fell fast. We hurried out of the office. As we got off the lift and into a garden, my kiddo stalled. It was the dark. I started shooting still figures in the water.

A few clicks later, he urged, "one more, Mom." It was my first time to come up close to this part of the garden in twelve years. Fear was of use to me that night. We walked home.

Sunday Stealing: Meme of Many Odd Questions, Part One
Please scroll up for Our Weekend Memoirs


Today we ripped this meme off a blogger named Kuda Girl of the blog named Kuda Girl's Journal. Kuda Girl explains that she ripped it from two bloggers Slay Me Softly and Dragon Fly Lady. But, it was probably stolen there as well. So, of course, that will be as far as we go. Tracing back our theft's thieves might take some time. It has 65 questions, so we'll do it in parts. Link back to us at Sunday Stealing!

  8. Honestly, ever since I was uprooted from Pinas (all those crazy stories about ogres and such) I do not fear the dark anymore. I would be scared of the squeaking door or loose wood floors....

    The statue of the cherub or angle playing harp is pretty!

    Hehehehe, Haz, I love your "red gum" answer!

    Enjoy your week!
