I Am a Zebra!

Clara was a zebra for Halloween this year. (Actually, I think she was a zebra last year as well. I know that Lee was a bat last year and this year. Thank goodness my kids don't grow out of costumes very quickly. )

Someone asked Clara what she was going to be for Halloween, and she said, "A zebra!"

"What does a zebra say, Clara?" they asked.

She spread her arms wide and responded, "I am a zebra!!!"

Aside from the humor in that statement, I love its life-affirming quality. Maybe I should get up every morning, spread my arms wide, and say "I am Ruth!!!"
