I think all too often we find ourselves looking at life and not really taking into account what will be important later on. For example, one of my best memories as a kid is me and my sister sitting on the stairs at my grandparents house watching TV. Now although that may not seem that significant, for me it was amazing. Why? Because the stairs were huge to me back then! And because of where the television was located, in the corner of the room, we could sit in our “little cave” and watch TV and be completely in our own little world.
This photograph will probably have the same meaning to these kids when they get older. In talking to Mom, she said that they always watch TV like that. No matter how much they have tried to get them to stop, they still keep going back to sitting on the arm of the chair. She even said with a smile, ” Yeah, we are going to have this chair that has one arm completely destroyed.” I hope that when these girls look at this photograph 30 years from now they will feel the same thing I feel when I think about watching TV on my grandparents stairs.
