One night as my family was traveling in our car, we heard from the back seat, "Hey moon." I turned to my wife and said, "Did you hear that?" She just smiled.
My two-year-old daughter was looking out of the car window and saw the full moon and apparently felt compelled to say, "Hey." We had been teaching her to greet people with a friendly smile, so she was doing just that -- it wouldn't be polite to ignore the moon's salutation. Why, anyone knows that.
I guess one of the "qualities" of adults is the ability to understand the complexities in life. Yet all too often we get bogged down with all of life's serious issues and forget to enjoy its simple pleasures.
So, take a minute tonight to look up and say, "Hey Moon!"
