My son, the Cadillac man, and I stand looking at the angel statue.
Specifically at her pink toenail polish.
“Really?” he says in disgust. “Painted toenails?”
I giggle. “I know! How many depictions of angels have you seen with painted toenails?”
He shakes his head. “I’ve never seen an angel with feet.”
I start to laugh, but . . . the way he says that . . .
He turns, walks off in his unassuming, old-soul way. I watch him go, wondering.
I said depictions.
He said he’d never seen an angel with feet.
Not that he’d never seen an angel.

Yes the same thought came to me 😊

Your tagline and then your title quickly pulled me in. Your dialogue neatly captured this interaction with your old-soul son and left me wondering, too.

And I love March and slicing. I wonder if you would have captured the importance of the comment and remembered it so beautifully without the slicing routine. I love this interaction.

I wonder, Melanie. I wonder. The level of daily immersion required for this challenge takes a person to new depths … and heights.

Cadillac Man is officially my favorite character only challenged by Stacey’s Ari and Jess’ girls. I enjoy being left wondering. Nailed it.

Now I’m wondering if you followed up this post with a discussion on angels with Cadillac man. It comes up at least once a year in my family. Oh, and my favorite angel book? Angel Fire by Andrew M. Greeley.

Cadillac Man has a point. I just did a google search of angel and the majority of images did not show feet. Never thought about it before but interesting to note.

The picture alone is worthy of a chuckle! I agree – why does the angel get a pedicure?
To hide her warts?

You have done such a good job of exposing a variety of thoughts here. So much to consider as I determine where I stand on these subjects – pedicures? angel feet? angels? Thank you for sharing this insightful conversation.

I love the image of you giggling, your old-soul man-son so serious, and the statue with pink polish!
Wonderful, succinct piece.
