Snow Globes

Dear Michael:

So your mom has a collection of snow globes. When you were really little and crying, I'd play a snow globe and spin you around the living room. Music always seemed to help.

Its been a while, but you have rediscovered them. Not only do they play music, but some of them spin and they have bears or castles or princesses or turtles or horses and snow inside.

Unfortunately you want to touch them too and hold them, and then one evening you took the castle snow globe and pushed it across and off the end table I had set it on. Some how it did not break.

Of course the funny little secret here is that your mom's snow globe collection is very close to accidental. Somewhere along the line she got a couple as gifts and then everyone else noticed them and figured she had a collection and now she has 10 or so. I gave her a couple when we were dating. But she never really asked for them, they just started showing up.

Don't think that means you can break them though.

Love Dad
