I remember one night, I'm not sure how old I was, but what a scene I created over a Dr. Seuss special that came on TV at exactly my bed time. All I remember is that I threw such a fit over not being allowed exception to the bed-time rule to stay up for that gloriously special occasion, that my typically severely quiet, calm and patient mother stormed off to take her shower in a fit of rage and continued to swear at me through the duration of that shower.. in a way so unlike her that it frightened me. That may have been the first time I had ever heard her swear, and even so, I snuck out of my room and watched as much as I dared while she was busy cursing me with three daughters just like me.
In a high school art class I was required to do a self portrait in the style of a famous artist. I chose Dr. Seuss. lol. When my brother recently graduated from college, I decided the best graduation present would be Oh The Places You'll Go. Obviously.
He's probably the smartest Dr. I know of. I like how he thought and saw the world, and how he was able to communicate it. I'm sad that he's gone, as one of the few famous people I can say I'd genuinely like to meet. Today I discovered a quote of his, which prompted me to write this, simply because it made me smile. I just wanted to post it, since anything that is able to make me smile these days just seems worth noting.
"We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love."
— Dr. Seuss
He he.

"I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, And that enables you to laugh at life's realities"
--Dr. Seuss
