The Beekeeper

"...You find yourself following the food chain path: you know, change your food, change your path, you are what you eat, Eat Right for Your Blood Type, etc. etc. etc...we've all done it. But if you're like me, then you realize one day that after you've been doing this for a year, your actual blood type is A+, not O... Fucking great...

Tash said to me the other day, "Mum?"
I responded, "Yum."
"Mum?"
"Yum."
"Mum, sometimes I'm stupid."
"Tash, don't be so hard on yourself."
"Mum, sometimes you're stupid too."
"Hey Tash, what are you getting at?"
"Sometimes, Mum, when you're cross, I'm Bombaloo." (She uses a word meaning how it sounds, from the kids' book Sometimes I'm Bombaloo.)
"Yeah, go on..."
"Well, we act stupid, Mum."
"Maybe you're right, Tash. Maybe we do act stupid." "I-got-an-idea..."
"You do? What's your idea?"
"Mum, you can be five in our game."
"Yeah, okay, and?"
"And I'm going to be sixteen going on seventeen."
And I thought to myself, I guess I've been five all week... [Tori Amos: Piece by Piece]
