Substitutions

A cup of black tea when what I really want is a nap.

Rebellion when what I really want is understanding and acceptance.

A day hitting the books when what I really want is a day lost in a book.

A trip to town through the snow when what I really want is to bunker in against the snow.

Whoever said, "Accept no substitutes" must not have been a mom.
