As I was going through my photos and old journals, I called the boy up. “You know how we’ve been talking about Egypt and what’s going on there? These are pictures of Egypt that I took.” We go through, and I pull up a Google map and we talk about Sinai and how it was Egypt’s and then Israel’s and then Egypt’s again. We talked about the pyramids. Then, as I was on a roll, I offered to show him my pictures of Petra. I pull Jordan up on the map, but before I could even get to the first story I had, he said, “Why are we doing this again?”
My kids. Such a fascination with the world. Sigh.
