TALKING ABOUT STRUCTURE

I heard an interview with Paul McCartney on NPR
on the way to drop Sophie off  to the preschool.
I am a fan of the Beatles...So I really enjoyed listening to him.

What I can relate to very much is the topic of structure.
For Sir Paul McCartney, of course,  the structure of songwriting.
Long long ago when I wrote scripts,
I remembered that conflict between protagonist and antagonist
is a classic structure of a script.
These days, here are the things that come into my mind when thinking about structure

1. A-Line Dresses have a good structure to improve my look

2. Daily routine of my kids or schedule is very important. It is the structure of their life. Without the routines, all tantrums break loose

Naptime still included in Sophie's routine

3. In my childhood sugary snacks were only for holidays .
They were not in the menu structure of my days.
But my kids expect some kind of dessert daily.
Those ( ice cream, cakes, chocolate, candies ) are like a change
from major to minor key in a song.
Making the mood interesting...( said Paul McCartney )

My mom has been lamenting , " If they get those junk food daily,
how do they got nutrition ?  "
Well.. in my defense I can only say that I am not a perfect mom..
I try to be just an average mom
with a lot of TLC and some discipline ( which did not work very well in the eating area  :(

Well... thanks for listening to my ramblings..

And keep you satisfied
