“I'm thinking of writing a children's story about a leaf on a tree who arrogantly insists he's a self-made, independent leaf. Then one day a fierce wind blows him off his branch and to the ground below. As his life slowly ebbs away, he looks up at the magnificent old tree that had been his home and realizes that he had never been on his own.

Then an arrogant, self-centered kid rakes him up and bags him.” ThinkingWritingLooksChildrenMadeSelfStoriesHomeKidsBeautifulRealizingTreeWindOne DayBiggerIndependentBlowBranchesLook UpBagsDelusionArrogantFierceFlashMagnificentLeafsSelf CenteredSelf MadeRakesOld Trees Author:Chuck Lorre
