There is much to be said for willful ignorance. Wanting something to be true takes you a long way to believing it to be so.

Night, Kichi love.

They are coming along great! Little Gracie bug is loving them. I unfortunately didn't get pics of all of them because her mom has been very bogged down with tests and medicine (she was diagnosed with MS a few months ago). However, she promised she will try to take pictures of them all on the board when the kids are finished. I doubt she needs more. I get the sense she killed it thanks to you all.

Besides internal evidence, we have an allegory from the wisdom traditon in Qohelth 12:1ff. There is also Dame Wisdom and Madam Folly in Prov 1:-9. I would urge that I am properly defining the literary genre of the story.
