Blast from the Past

Their playdates and sleepovers,

 their silly sing alongs...

Nu-Sensical

Nu hasn't eaten her lunch--a wedge of Tortilla Española from dinner the day before.

Because: "You didn't pack me a fork!"

But: "I ate everything else! Even the sour cream for the tortilla. Although it wouldn't come out and I had to use my fingers."

It's a good thing then that FB sent me a great memory yesterday.

Surrender

I lie
my feet in fetters

I rise
a canopy dweller

Let you
tell me

What I
already see

ThinkProgress

But it was a productive conversation, and I was so outraged by my own talking points that I forgot my customary camera wariness fairly quickly.
