Actual conversation I just had with my son.
TheBoy (in a sad voice): Daddy yelled at me. Don't wanna go to bed.
Me: Well, if you're a big kid, then you'll go to bed. It's bedtime and the big kids are all in bed. Are your sisters in bed?
TheBoy (mournfully): Yes.
Me: They're big kids. They're in bed. If you want to be treated like a big kid, you need to go to bed. It's your choice. You can go to bed or you can yell and scream.
TheBoy: Going to yell and scream.

I'm a former military wife (the wife part is current, it's only the military part that's former), trying to find out where we fit in the civilian world.
Heeeeeeere's Reiza
About the title
In While They're At War, Kristin Henderson compares military life with going to Mars. When you return to the civilian world, you step off the spaceship and return to Earth for good, only to find you're out of place.
******************
She's right and we're adjusting. Welcome to my Earth where we still dream in Martian and search desperately for our place in the world.
