The writings and rantings of an overeducated, feminist stay-at-home parent who probably drinks too much, thinks too much, and doesn't get enough exercise.

how the children exceed their parents
This morning Iris uber Alles breezily shared with me, "At my school yesterday, we learned meditation, and the leader said I reached enlightenment!" I asked who this "leader" was, and it turned out to be a fifth grade teacher who deemed Iris enlightened.
Seeking to share this new interest, I mentioned that once, thanks to my dear old friend Kate, I meditated with the Dalai Lama. "But YOU didn't reach enlightenment!" Iris jeered.

Tell Iris to always end that story with "So I got THAT going for me"
WV "mipaymo"
Would you mind sharing that story sometime? I'd probably cry if I ever met him. Not because of his status, he's just such a beautiful person.
As an Atheist/Buddhist I'd be annoyed if someone told my kid they'd actually reached enlightenment by meditating for a little while. LOL
