Mmmmmmmm...... It's Buddha-rific!!
On the 3rd, Mrs Sivana and I were meandering about Garden Ridge, when we passed a wood-carved Buddha (as opposed to a wooden Buddha, which is a Buddha with little or no personality (I know, old joke. So am I. Deal.)).
This started a conversation about the "tastes great" (fat) vs "less filling" (thin) representations of Buddha. Mrs Sivana recalled that Buddha was fat with wisdom. I responded "Funny, I didn't know being smart was fattening". Looking down, I continued, "But I guess that explains a few things" and patted my stomach.
She rolled her eyes and said it was symbolic, that he wasn't actually fat. "So I just think I'm fat?" was my reply.
"No", she dead-panned. "You just think you're smart". And then she danced....
Is it any wonder I love this woman?
