This, the first Christmas tree Amelie has had the pleasure to decorate, also was a lesson in classification. Her system was to place like items together: all small gold balls on one branch, all big red balls on another. All adults know it's important to scatter evenly, yet I can't fault her as 90% of her books are about matching like to like. Hmmm...

A good reminder of how much systems depend on context.

I left the tree that way, btw.

I guess I never "learned" how to decorate a tree the "adult" way - Amelie and I do it the same. Christmas ought to be the time when we all think like kids. Thanks for leaving the tree the way it should be - the way the kids want it.

This is *so* going onto del.icio.us tagged 'humor'.

Somewhere the irony is causing a proto-universe to undergo its Big Crunch.

It works rather well... I, of course, scattered, and she grouped, and the combination is pleasant.
