The Twenty-Third Post
by Gail
Pat, over at Logopolis, recently tagged me with the following meme:
1. Search your blog archive.
2. Find your 23rd post.
3. Find the fifth sentence (this is meant to say something about you).
4. Post that sentence in your blog along with these instructions.
5. Tag five people to do the same.
I am sure that Pat felt that my blog held some great promise for just such a meme. Unfortunately, after manually searching my blog for the twenty-third post, I came up with this:
“Lily has finally decided to work on her hook rug and Clara is playing her lap harp.”
Hmmm…What to think, what to think? An entire post of self-absorption and we find the first and probably the last sentence that isn’t about me. As a matter of fact, it doesn’t say anything about me at all. Except, perhaps, that I knew someone named Lily who was working on a hook rug and someone named Clara who was playing a lap harp on that particular day. How disappointing. I would have much preferred a sentence that exposed some deep revelation about myself. Something that I had entirely missed.
Well, here’s hoping it turns out better for those of you buzzing around The Beehive, living the good, peasant life at Bona Vita Rusticanda Est (sorry, my Latin’s a little rusticanda) , huddled together in The Common Room, hanging out at Dewey’s Treehouse, and lastly, for Sprittibee. Have fun!
And to think I bumped down a perfectly nice picture of a flower for this.

I think it says plenty about you. It shows that you are focused more on your family than on yourself. And that your children are given to creative and artistic activities — which suggests a few things about how you have raised them.
For a single sentence, I find it quite revealing.
I’m trying to play, but I can’t copy and paste the instructions. You mean you’re going to make me do all the counting AND manually retype the directions? I am so happy to see you blogging again that I shall comply, but you are a hard taskmistress.
Sorry about that! You can lift the instructions from Pat’s blog, Logopolis. There’s a link to it in my post.
Better yet, here they are:
1. Search your blog archive.
2. Find your 23rd post.
3. Find the fifth sentence (this is meant to say something about you).
4. Post that sentence in your blog along with these instructions.
5. Tag five people to do the same.
OK, I’m playing…I will be posting my answer today. But I can’t promise to tag anyone else…I think most of my blog friends have already been picked.
Yes, I beg to differ… this does say pleanty about you.
It brings to mind the wonderful job you are doing as a parent.
Just think, if it were Mom’s blog, it might have gone something like… “Kyle is putting a safety pin in an electrical outlet, and Mike has glued Barbie Doll hair to his upper lip.”
That “safety pin in an electrical outlet” comment explains a lot. :p
