Cactus Lessons
Over the weekend Cee saw a cactus.
This cactus was like none other that he’d ever seen before. Instead of being plucked soft and bald in a store parking lot, this cactus was in a beautiful field of wildflowers and had a sort of fuzzy appeal.
Cee approached the cactus and Mommy said, “No, don’t touch that,” but how could anything so beautiful and innocent be bad?
He touched the cactus and learned the hard way that Mommy knows best and that you can’t always trust things in beautiful packages or surroundings.
His hand was covered in prickers, but we got them out quickly and with a couple of kisses and graham crackers Cee was as good as new again.
PS My friend Rach took these last two pics. When my son is on his way to hurt himself I don’t stand back to snap the shots, I was right behind him, but was just a moment too late.
