Sophie had an Easter Egg Hunt at her preschool yesterday which was a lot of fun. However, the one today sponsored by our community....how to put this nicely(??).....well, was a disaster. A disaster of a show, with no beginning or end, just the climax which was complete pandemonium. There was no organization, none whatsoever. When I compare it to the community where we used to live in N. Mesa, AZ, there's such a huge, huge difference. Poor thing didn't get one egg because of all the tiny tykes, and the bigger kids.
Understandably, they first let the kids 4 and under go search for eggs while the bigger kids waited on the sidelines. A minute or two later the whistle was blown again to signal the bigger kids to join. The problem with that, the bigger kids 7 and up were already helping themselves way before they blew the whistle, as they were watching in panic all the little kids grabbing most of the eggs....tsk tsk. And, being the L7's that we are, especially me, we waited until the whistle was blown. Too bad and so sorry for Sophie.
Kind of reminds me of the circumstances here in the U.S. The ones to really benefit are the very poor and the filthy rich, while everybody else in between gets a big goose egg.
In picture, Daddy and Sophie running, looking for eggs....Where are all the eggs?
