Selling Children

K, I love the way your mind works sometimes.

A few weeks ago we were talking something about parenting.

You added as part of the conversation that:

…Yeah, like some bad parent that does not want their kids and sells them.

I interrupted you explaining that – no – you can not sell your children.

You were wide-eyed and dumbfounded as you gathered your thoughts for a second.

Eventually, you replied:

So you can give your kids away to an orphanage for free…but you can’t sell them for money. Hmmm… That is very interesting and unexpected.

And now I’m racking my brain about it all too. 🤣

I love you.

Laughing Cackle

K, you have the absolute best laughing cackle in the world.

You only do it when you get to laughing too hard and can’t stop.

(Or you are being silly.)

But this high-pitched shrill of a laugh comes from somewhere deep down.

Mom says you sound like Bellatrix Lestrange from Harry Potter.

When it’s natural, it’s the sweetest thing.

I love you.

Just Worried

K, you said the absolute sweetest thing the other day.

H was headed to Callie’s house to swim before going to Nerf Wars and Hazel’s church.

I knew all that, but when I came to pick you up from school, H was already gone.

I wanted to check and make sure she got where she was supposed to go – but before I could stop you – you ran to the back of the school and started asking all the teachers “Where is my sister?!” 🤣

We talked to Ms. Butler though and she assured us everything was good.

You didn’t say much on the way back to the car.

I asked if you were ok and you said.

Yeah, I was just worried about H. I know we fight a lot and push each other’s buttons. But she is my best friend. I love her so much.

My girl. 🥲

I love you.
