Hidden wonder indeed; and right under our very noses!
Imagine, for a moment, what we might encounter if we actually, “stopped to smell the roses.” After all, this is “just” a dandelion, covered in morning dew. 8)
Little Larry and Gina are only 10 years old, but they know they are in love.
One day they decide that they want to get married, so Larry goes to Gina’s father to ask him for her hand.
Larry bravely walks up to him and says, “Mr. Smith, me and Gina are in love and I want to ask you for her hand in marriage.”
Thinking that this was just the cutest thing, Mr. Smith replies, “Well Larry, you are only 10 … where will you two live?”
Without even taking a moment to think about it, Larry replies, “In Gina’s room. It’s bigger than mine and we can both fit there nicely.”
Still thinking this is just adorable, Mr. Smith says with a huge grin, “Okay, then how will you live? You’re not old enough to get a job. You’ll need to support Gina.”
Again, Larry instantly replies, “Our allowance. Gina makes five bucks a week and I make 10 bucks a week. That’s about 60 bucks a month, so that should do us just fine.”
Mr. Smith is impressed Larry has put so much thought into this. “Well Larry, it seems like you have everything figured out. I just have one more question. What will you do if the two of you should have little children of your own?”
Larry just shrugs his shoulders and says, “Well, we’ve been lucky so far.”
Mr. Smith no longer thinks little Larry is so adorable.
