from the book of babes...

There are always things in life one could worry about. Being a Mom seems to triple, no quadruple, that number of things. That is definitely something I am working on day by day- with a little help from reassuring family and friends and also through prayer- probably the most effective way to work on something. Since this "no worry" thing has been top of mind lately, I got kind of tickled when I looked up a children's book online  that I wanted to purchase for  Cohen, and I read this excerpt:


WHATIF

Last night, while I lay thinking here,
Some Whatifs crawled inside my ear
And pranced and partied all night long
And sang their same old Whatif song:
Whatif I'm dumb in school?
Whatif they've closed the swimming pool?
Whatif I get beat up?
Whatif there's poison in my cup?
Whatif I start to cry?
Whatif I get sick and die?
Whatif I flunk the test?
Whatif green hair grows on my chest?
Whatif nobody likes me?
Whatif lightning strikes me?
Whatif I don't grow taller?
Whatif my head starts getting smaller?
Whatif I tear my pants?
Whatif I never learn to dance?

Everything seems swell, and then
The nighttime Whatifs strike again!!
- Shel Silverstein


A good reminder that LOTS of our Whatifs sound just as bizarre or unreasonable when we finally say them out loud!
