Wordless(ish) Wednesday: at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt

In the spring,

at the end of the day,

you should smell like dirt.

-Margaret Atwood

Who needs toys? All a kid really wants is a sled to hold her dirt.

(Jeff said, “Look at her. She’s filthy. She’s like a pig in mud.”

“Good,” I said. And I meant it.)
