As is traditional for schoolchildren at this time of year, R. was asked to put together a list of things for which he was thankful.
His list featured: bacteria, elements, electricity, and equal rights.
He expressed some confusion at his peers who mostly expressed appreciation for their families, pets, media devices, and sports.
And much as there's a teeny bit of wry sadness at "Mom" not making the short list, I have to admit, in the grand scheme of things, bacteria are really more important.
