Bubble Man

Bubble Man
By Tom Hudson

Anything is possible. At least that’s what the Bubble Man says. The kids all believe him, of course, and why shouldn’t they? Anyone who blows bubbles for a living wouldn’t lie.

It’s only the rest of us who don’t believe him. You know, those of us who know better.

It’s a nice thing to tell kids, I suppose. I guess there’s no harm in it. I mean, we tell them about Santa Claus, don’t we? And they all eventually find out it’s a scam, but don’t seem any worse for wear. So how is this any different?

It’s just another pleasant fantasy for the kids…one more little white lie for their amusement. Until they grow up and find out the world doesn’t work that way.

But wait a minute. I happened to be reading the Scriptures the other day, and it turns out that God agrees with the Bubble Man.

All things are possible with God, it clearly says, right there in black and white.

What?  God, the Bubble Guy, and the kids all agree, and we don’t?

Maybe we’re the ones who’ve been listening to fairy tales. You know, like, the world’s a predictable place, where you get by on hard work, and then you die.

I think I like the Bubble Man’s fairy tales a lot better than the ones I’ve been listening to.

I have to admit that I briefly entertained the thought that this Bubble Man should get a real job. You know, like the rest of us have to. A real job in the real world.

But now I think he should just keep on doing what he’s doing, and that just maybe, his job is a lot more real than most. He is telling our kids things we ought to be telling them, after all.

Maybe he’s like a modern day Johnny Appleseed, spreading his message far and wide, only working with bubbles instead of apple seed, and children’s souls, instead of earth.

The seeds seem small now, but only because it’s the next generation that will bear the fruit. For the one who believes that Anything is possible, life is an adventure beyond
what most of us can imagine.

Hey, that’s what the Bubble Guy says, and that’s good enough for me.

I wonder if he’s too busy to do my next birthday party
