Sissy wanted to go to the museum

So after breakfast Sissy asked me if we had any plans. I said no.

She said dad can we go to the museum I heard they have a mummy on display from Egypt and I want to see her.

So off we went to the museum. She doesn't ask to go see things very often so when she does we try and do it right away.

Museums are wonderful. They call up things in you that you didn’t know were there.

I remember, my only visit at the metropolitan museum, where I saw Picasso’s “Woman Ironing” on display.

I was transfixed. Tears poured down my face. Not primarily sad tears - the same kind of tears I cried when I first saw the Rocky Mountains. Awe. Wonder.

I still don’t know why that painting moved me so deeply. It just did.

Do you think Sissy is about to enter her “Egyptian” phase?

@Mamapolo2016 I'm not sure, maybe it was something they are learning in school and she wanted to see it in person. We don't go to the museum alot. It's hard for me to control my outbursts and you have to be very quite there 😂
