As I was sitting with my parents, husband, and daughter at the table following lunch and trying to keep up with what each person was saying while filtering out the background noise of the fire, cars driving by, and dog walking around, it dawned on me that one of the main reasons that I always disliked sitting around the table and talking is that there is just way too much stimuli to filter and keep track of...not to mention the absolute torture of small-talk. I honestly do not understand the point of talking just to make conversation; rather, I prefer to converse about a topic that has a purpose...does that make sense?
On another (very unrelated and random) note, why do we have to make up silly female superheroes when history is full of amazing women? One of my special interests is women who served for the SOE during WWII and I decided I would like to make a running list of inspiring women that all girls should know about:
Marie Curie
Suzanne Spaak
Sybil Luddington
Mercy Otis Warren
Nancy Wake
Odette Sansom
Virginia Hall
Vera Atkins
Temple Grandin
