Lawnmower and Man

No theology here. I am watching my sons play in the backyard. Because it is hot, I filled the plastic kiddie pool for them. After splashing in it for a bit, Levi climbed out and got his mini lawnmower. He pushed it up the side of the kiddie pool and in, which made Samuel laugh. In Levi's brief act -- lawnmower into pool -- I see a kind of performance art about maleness and suburban life. I'll call it "Lawnmower and Man: A Twenty-First Century Performance Art Piece by Levi Todd."

Addendum: Minutes after this post, Levi enacted the encore to "Lawnmower and Man." He peed in the pool and got out.
