just when you think you know everything there is to know about your child, you learn something so totally unusual that you simply have to document it.
we lived in orleans county for two years when my son was a little boy, so he saw perhaps more than the normal number of road signs declaring either the beginning or the end of ROAD WORK. it seemed that something was always under repair and we needed to take a detour. the detours were always fun with a three year old because out in God's country there were always steel-decked one lane bridges to cross...three year olds love that.
now this son of mine is a man, he lives in maryland, and he is surrounded by m ore signs than we could ever have encountered in tiny little orleans county. he called me one day with a memory burning so brightly in his adult brain that he had to tell me: he used to think the signs that stated
END CONSTRUCTION
were signs of PROTEST...that the residents of the towns along route 104 west had just had enough of the chaos created by change and were stating their feelings for all to see!! now how about THAT?
