What I Learned from Life

I was complaining to my husband that I could do with a little help in the kitchen to clean up after the party each time. I wish I hadn’t. He absently left the filled-up trash bag safely on the shelf and dumped the fresh bag of unused paper plates and spoons in the trash can.

We were discussing how sad it was that the popular camel race in mid Eastern countries allowed young children to be strapped to the camels’ backs on the pretext that the camels would run faster hearing the children’s frantic cries.
