- As a child I dreamed of a career as an origami artist even though I was the only student in my elementary school who couldn’t make a paper airplane or make boats out of newspaper by following the step-by-step illustrations in Curious George Rides a Bike.
- As an adult, I clung to my dream even though I have never successfully completed a make-this-out-of-a-dollar-bill origami features found in the back of in-flight magazines.
- This past Wednesday morning, the dream was abandoned once and for all. Why? Because when my grandson wore a diaper I had folded following to a tee the steps his mother had demonstrated, he peed through a gap in the misshapen, sorry excuse of a nappy, soaking my shorts, my undies, and my skin. Yes, this grammy knows how to take a hint.
