or: METERS THAT SHOW HOW MUCH APOCALYPE THE WORLD HAS.

Hi all.

Still collapsed from the dolls shows. Working hard on a post about the whole circus and hoping to get it done and out before school holiday break. Buried. Happy.

For now, a small vignette.

I promise, I pinky SWEAR, I absolutely commit to not becoming one of those insufferable parents who barrages you with kid art. Unless I feel it curatorially necessary for the advancement of society - or to add to the darkly-tinged net delight of the universe.


Setting: Bed, after bathtime and before Narnia.

Ash: Mom how do you spell apocalypse

Me: How do you think?

Ash: A P O C A L Y P E

Me: Real close not quite

Ash: Come look at my drawing

Me: Is he…wait, is this a he or a she?

Ash: It doesn’t matter

Me: I have taught you well

Ash: Those meters on the head measure the amount of apocalypse on earth

Me: Why are there two?

Ash: There are two so you can see each side of the world.

Me: Ok. Which side of the world has more apocalypse?

Ash: (thinks….) The left side.


Mother goes to the kitchen quietly crying and makes a yet another small and probably insignificant donation to act blue.

I think I’ve had one of those meters in my head since I was his age. Damn thing never stops pinging.

Please, share the kid art, the kid music, the kid wisdom. I appreciate those reminders to live a little more boldly. Thanks. ❤️

<p style="color: #008600;">It's so moving when you share Ash's art or any of Ash's joyful moments. You think you are a great mother</p>

Apo-calliope is what I read at first... The frenetic merry-go-round we do while we are waiting to see whether diease-du-jour, climate disaster, totalitarianism, or rando violence is going to be behind door number today.

Your child is a tiny empathy genius, and the world needs more children like this.

Don’t worry. It will all work out. Ash is a sage. Thanks for the chuckle at the end

Your boy is quite creative! I think you need to further develop this quality in him. And by the way, the theme of the apocalypse ... It seems that even children are already well aware of this))
