It's like Tuesdays with Morrie without all the wisdom
I Worry About Maya (Disturbing Images Part 2)
Maya isn’t awake yet so I can’t ask her about this series of art work. Lena and Liberty told me they were all made around Halloween last year. When Maya was 4. Apparently she made up a song to go with this first creation. The picture and the song are both called “Blood is Dripping” and the song goes like this:
Blood is dripping
Blood is dripping
Blood is dripping
The next one is called “Blood Before Halloween.”
And the last one is “The Forest of Death,” but, as Liberty points out, “It’s so pink and there isn’t really any death in it. Well, I guess that triangle’s kind of sharp.” I think she purposely made it pink to point out how our culture’s pre-defined gender roles and expectations for women can be a sort of death. *cough*
Your kids can’t come over to play with my little angels anymore. I’m pretty sure that Noah has a fever from the stench of evil or something on roller skating day. He is VERY SAD, by the way, that we will be missing the final potluck at the apartment soon to be known as the former home of some of his favorite people EVER.
