So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Who can disagree. | Condominiums Thursday. 6.19.08 11:46 pm We were sitting around in my next-door-neighbor's backyard. It was a large backyard, but I don't remember people playing in it very often. I must have been in third grade. We were playing "I'm Going on a Picnic". A fairly simple game, we had to progress through the alphabet as we went around the circle and say what we were bringing to the picnic that began with that letter. "I'm going on a picnic and I'm bringing an Apple!" "I'm going on a picnic and I'm bringing a Basket!" It came around to my neighbor. She was a few years older than me, but not by much. "I'm going on a picnic and I'm bringing a Condom!" she said, smiling evilly. A condom... hmmm, my third-grade-self thought. That must be short for "Condominium". Why did she look so satisfied with herself? A condominium was a ridiculous thing to bring on a picnic. You couldn't carry it, or eat it. Perhaps she was being intentionally absurd, and that's why she found the whole thing so funny. Nobody else seemed to get the joke, and the game continued. Given that I skipped out on most of sex-ed in 5th grade by "accidentally forgetting" to get my permission slip signed, and I spent health class in 8th grade staging fights between a Hotwheels Camaro and a Prince Phillip figurine just under the desk for the benefit of my table-mates, it wasn't until I finally fulfilled the high school health class requirement the last semester of my senior year that the word "condom" once more made its way into my vocabulary. It was much longer after that that I finally made the connection between it and the game we played that day in the backyard, and the condominium conundrum was finally resolved in my brain. "Tsk, tsk, Molly," my 23-odd-year-old self thought, "not at any picnic of mine!" 6 Comments. I can see why she felt so self-satisfied. I would too, haha. » Unicornasaurus on 2008-06-20 12:03:41 Wow, I don't think I even knew the full word 'condominum' when I was eight... » randomjunk on 2008-06-20 12:24:10 Haha There used to be a commercial for some beer that had a guy say "I lived off condiments for a full month!" You can guess why my younger self was puzzled and horrified. Stupid condom-esque words » The-Muffin-Man on 2008-06-20 05:25:28 Wow, that is young to know that word. I think I caught on pretty late as well. » jinyu on 2008-06-20 04:34:28 Haha! That Molly! I remember in elementary school when someone found one on the playground and it caused a big uproar and everyone wanted to see it but the teachers wouldn't let us. I had no idea what was going on... but I pretended to anyway. ;-) » Rachel (71.196.160.141) on 2008-06-21 10:39:18 haha! What a thing to remember from your childhood, eh?
