a child’s question

the Pride flag and the broom

Last week I saw our 3 year old granddaughter Ella trying her best to strike our Pride flag with a broom she found in the back yard. I watched as she struggled to swing the broom handle several times in the air with increasing agitation each time she flailed without success.

“Ella,” I said. “What in the world are you doing? That’s our Pride flag – it’s very important to your nanas.”

“I’m waiting for the candy to fall,” she answered with a withering look in my direction.

Lol.

“Nana, did any candy ever fall out of your Pride flag?”

We had to report no candy yet.
