I thought, when I decided to start a blog, that I would probably save this tidbit for last, but having considered it a bit, I've determined that it is the entire point. So I am going to share it now, and get it out of the way, with the added caveat that this should in no way imply that I will not bring this subject up again, or neglect to expound upon it in the future.
If you happen to be a member of the LDS church (Mormon- peculiar though we may be)... this might make a little more sense to you. If not, I'll bet you could still figure it out.
My darling daughter, fully a random genius in her own right, asked me one day, "Mom, what exactly is the meaning of life?" Unshaken, I replied in my usual flash of brilliance:
"My dear, life is like a huge video game, where the entire purpose is for us to successfully navigate the maze and return unfettered to the spot where we began."
Return with honor. That was probably my most awesome moment of motherhood. I know this, because my excessively literate and vivaciously verbose teenager responded with, "Oh, okay," smiled, and walked away.
What bliss.
