Truth

Hannah’s choir has a concert this weekend, and one of the songs they’re singing is from the movie Pocahontas – All the Colors of the Wind, or something to that effect.  Hannah’s been practicing, of course, which means that the rest of us know her songs, too. 

This morning, Naomi was singing the lyrics, “Have you ever heard a wolf cry to the blue corn moon or asked a grinning bobcat why he grins?”  Our family tends to have fun with lyrics changes, so I changed it to, “Have you ever heard a Mim [one of Naomi’s nicknames] cry to the blue corn moon –"

Naomi interrupted me: “No, I haven’t ever cried to the blue corn moon.”

I asked her why not.

“Because I’m asleep when the moon is out.”
