seven kids, six parents

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2013.08.30

We were outnumbered at a get-together this evening with Elias's family and Manami's family ('round here we identify families by the first name of the first born, for whatever reason—I suppose it was probably a protocol invented by our own first born). Seven kids, all under ten and probably with an average age of four. Slightly noisy, but fun. We had roll-your-own spring rolls and lime margaritas.

Meanwhile, my "registered" University application parcel is in something called GBLALA.

If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people together to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.
