Curiosity Cheered the Cat

Sue brought Baby Katie, who was fascinated by the judge’s robes. The judge laughed as Baby Katie walked around him, pulling on the fabric as she went.

Kim had flowers.  Katie did everything but eat them. She didn’t eat them because Sue made her spit out the petal.

Billie scooped up Baby Katie.  Katie grabbed one of Billie’s hoop earrings.  When Billie handed Baby Katie to Trevor, the toddler grabbed his glasses, started at them, shook them, then tossed them away.

At this point the ceremony was about to start. Sue pulled a toy from her purse and Katie played with it for almost a minute.

As I watched Baby Katie, I thought the world would be a better place if we never lost our curiosity.  People would be more curious about other people, and maybe a little more understanding.  No newly sober people would complain about boredom. They’d be too busy exploring all the things they’d missed in their addictions.

Today I’ll try to have a small child’s curiosity.
