Not "edgy". Not "political". Just a pleasant reminder of simpler things.
I always liked it when one (or all) of the kids coming home and showed the dashed line with all of the meanderings. Would remind me of what I would find interesting and get distracted by (jumping in mud puddles, calling to the ducks, trying to catch a frog, etc.). I really would go over those and mull things over. “I came right home from school!”
I hope to see a creative use of the dashed line on Keane’s trip to Heaven. “Sorry it took so long God, but lots of fun distractions along the way”.
