Last week my friend got bitten by a red-back spider.
Yeah you know the one, the one that can kill you.
When I asked her why she hadn’t mentioned her near
death experience, she reminded me that it wasn’t about us anymore, it was about
the humans we had made, and that while a near death experience would ordinarily
have been considered a newsworthy topic, it now faded into insignificance when
compared with more weighty issues such as teething, nap boycotts and vegetable
refusals.
My friend could have died of her spider bite and I
would never have known because I was too busy making stuffed cannelloni,
reading the same book for the ninety-six thousandth time and working my biceps
at the slippery dip in the park.
Such is the life I lead.

We have made an

They have the darndest way of putting things in
perspective.
