Sound like a tag line for a new TV reality show? It's my life right now, and apparently, it's no surprise to at least one person. My daughter has always had a knack for knowing what the future will hold. When she was very small, she twice predicted that the back end of my car would whip out from under us. This fall, it seems, she predicted our current financial situation.
Back in October, when it was still nice enough to ride bikes outside and she had few other toys left in the house, she'd make signs. Some were her asking to go outside. "Outside, please? NOW?!" is one that comes to mind. But she'd also make signs for other sorts of play. One such sign read, "I don't have a home. Put your money in the bucket." Simultaneously hilarious and so sad. Another read, "Only the poorest will survive." Which brings to mind so many questions about what, exactly, was going on in her head when she was making those signs. Is there some deeper psychological statement being made, or was it just silly 7 year old sign making? I remember writing some ridiculous statements at that age. I still write some pretty silly things.
If it was a portent, I have hope. We will suruvive.
