A Little Bit Off


Bethany and I had a fun day today, going to the Grand Opening of a new store in Gibsonia (THINK PINK ), shopping at another specialty store, and then picking Levi up in Butler. One very important revelation came to light through our time together. It's something I've always kinda known, but never quite verbalized before. My daughter, my only daughter, whom I birthed and love to pieces, is just a little bit off. Those who know her well will smile when they read this, because if they didn't realize this before, it will strike them as very true now. I guess my lightbulb moment was today when she was trying to call me one-eyed to Levi...and she called me a cyclone. She of course meant cyclops. And that just encapsulates the fact that she is alwasy just a little bit off. She can always put together very funky outfits that are just a little bit off. She has strong opinions that are often wise, but somehow, not mainstream, but just a little bit off. I guess that's what makes Bethany who she is.....a unique creature designed by God to see things a different way than most everyone else. It's endearing, and lovable, and I wouldn't have her any other way.

Ummm....Aunt Patty, I don't mean for this come off rude, but...the whole Grubbs family is "just a little bit off"! Maybe that is an understatement! I'd have to say that I truly believe I have the best and most unique family in the world! I love all of us, oddities and all!
