We put away all our Christmas things this past weekend. After a couple of days my son walked into the room where we had the Christmas tree and said,"It's so lonely in here." I said,"Yeah...empty, huh?"
As I sat there for a while longer my thoughts returned to his choice of words. LONELY?...because the Christmas tree is gone? I am fascinated by the feeling he had when walking into the room. Most people just say,"It looks empty".
The two words are synonyms for each other. They mean pretty much the same thing so I'm not sure why I keep thinking about what he said.
Just goes to show you how differently kids look at things.
