1. Heh. A fun (and seasonally appropriate!) way to address what seems to be a pretty familiar theme lately. Thanks for this, Aimee.

   1. My pleasure, Corey :)

2. That is a good quote from Doug Coupland. I think as a Mom of four toddlers, I switch my costumes throughout the day. This morning I was a chef, then I was a horse for horse back rides. I then morphed into a jester when we had a quadruple meltdown…and it’s only 1:00 p.m. I enjoyed the poem from Pam too.

   1. Theresa, I think you are a super hero!

3. The costume I often wear is SUPERWOMAN!!!!! lol

   1. I hear you, Chris. My favorite alter ego is Wonder Woman :)

4. Which reminds me of the ONE poem I actually retained from High School Lit class:

   ” WE wear the mask that grins and lies,
   It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,—
   This debt we pay to human guile;
   With torn and bleeding hearts we smile,
   And mouth with myriad subtleties. ”
   –Paul Laurence Dunbar

   (Thanks for the memory jog, I was inspired to look up the whole thing!)

   1. Good poem. Carl Jung’s psych theory dealt a lot with the masks we wear daily, too. Thanks for contributing to this conversation, Pam.
