I Am From the Moon
So a couple of nights ago we went grocery shopping, all four of us. On our way to the store (which shall remain unnamed because I don't like supporting it even though I still shop there sometimes...okay okay it was Wal-Mart! I went there! Aaaargh.). Anyway. On our way to the store, we got a great view of the full moon rising over the horizon as the sun was going down. The moon was beautiful, low and a rosy pink color. Joe pointed it out to Mara: "Look, Mara, the moon is pink. It's a pink moon."
Mara: "Hello, pi-nk mooon!"
When we left Wal-Mart the evil shopping enemy of small-town business, the sun was long gone (we had to buy a lot of groceries) and the moon was high and back to its normal pale white self.
Joe: "Look, Mara, the moon is white again."
Mara: "Hello, whi-te moooon!"
We turn toward home, away from the moon. Mara: "Bye bye, whi-te moooon."
We turn again and the moon comes into view. Mara: "Hello, whi-te mooon."
All the way home. And for the last two days she randomly stops, looks out the window, and says, "Whi-te moon?" I'm not sure how to explain the whole orbiting day/night rotation of the earth concept to her, so I just say, "Hmmm, no white moon yet!" as if I'm just as shocked as she is.
Today I saw this linked from another blog and couldn't resist. Here are my results:
You Are From the Moon |
![]() You can vibe with the steady rhythms of the Moon. You're in touch with your emotions and intuition. You possess a great, unmatched imagination - and an infinite memory. Ultra-sensitive, you feel at home anywhere (or with anyone). A total healer, you light the way in the dark for many. |

My 4 year old granddaughter when out late one evening to feed the chickens and gather eggs and we also had a beautiful full moon. She looks up and says "wake man in the moon", then proceeds to tell me all about this man in the moon.
We also shop that dreaded unnamed store that we also hate to support but shop at because we have so few choices!
