Overheard at Home Town water park:
Darling kidling snuggles up to her mama, a (relatively) fit, obsessive pre-dawn runner. In a bikini. Exposed for the whole damn world to see.
Upon climbing onto The Mama’s lap, The Kidling snuggled in, resting her sweet head upon her mother’s abdomen. A smile in her voice, she kindly told The Mama, “you have a squishy tummy pillow.”
The Mama’s reply?
“Thank you.”
That’s lovely! We should be proud of our squishy mom pillow bellies, no matter how early we wake up to exercise!
Hear, hear! I can’t imagine how much less comfortable a six-pack would have been on her sleepy little head. Thank goodness for a little padding.
Isn’t it astounding how kids can focus in on something that might be a point of concern like a laser-guided missile, and show us another way of looking at things?
Always, Lori. A healthy dose of perspective makes life that much better.
