If you were a Smurf, who would you be?
My kids instigated a deep conversation about The Smurfs. My little girl would choose to be Smurfette (obviously). Hefty was a close second choice. My son was comfortable being any Smurf except Papa or Smurfette. He was partial to Narrator or Tracker Smurf. At this stage in life, there is only one choice for me. If I had to be a Smurf, I would be Papa Smurf.
This debate made me think about the Smurf community as it compares to some of our societal norms. It would be easier to determine a person’s motivations if they had a name that coincided with their character. I think life would be so much less complicated if we all had labels that summed up the essence of who we are. Which Smurf are you?
