Just dessert
“What a difference a day makes…” It’s a cliche, but true. I think about my own children and how astonishing it was to see them grow as babies. Even now, they’re 13 and 8, and not a day passes when they do something that just blows my mind. That generally is a wonderful thing. Sometimes it just makes me laugh and shake my head. My younger daughter has this habit lately of wiping her hands on her shirt. So there we were yesterday at a restaurant, she finishes her cupcake, and before I could say anything, wipes her frosting-covered fingers across the front of her shirt… For the rest of the afternoon until we could get home, she had finger tracks…
I don’t mean to embarrass her. She already has shown me in eight years that she’s going to grow into a confident, beautiful, sophisticated young woman. But right now she makes me laugh every time she does that, and yes, shake my head a little… She is definitely my kid. LOL
