Harebrained by Meg Myers Morgan begins with the inventive classrooms of her early teacher, Mrs Humble. Her reminiscences take the route of a free bird that goes from dangerous liaisons to the examination of a work area for waxing. As she says in one of her poems, “When I go into labor, Let us aim for a sneeze and slide,” eulogizing the power of introverts, and airing her aversion to criticism. Her essays slide interestingly, evoking a rainbow of emotions, some of ridicule, a few of fear, and mostly of laughter. I am not listing them individually as whatever a baby, child, mother or father could be confronting regularly and more, is contained herein.
Harebrained by Meg Myers Morgan is intelligent and thought provoking. Like ‘Necessity truly is the mother of invention as long as the father is time,’ many an opinion aired by Meg reverberates with a hidden insight and subtle humor. She looks into various aspects of life in general and family in particular. That brings me to what I missed, an index, which would have enabled me to effortlessly revisit the places I got caught by its brilliance. This is a good read; I found it easy to relate to many of the entertaining events and scenes, having encountered them all already, though it did not lead to such pleasant and tasteful humor. (I wish I had read this book earlier!)
