Dinner around a coffee table
with a two year old
who learned
the classic French childhood expression
»Caca Boudin »
…
Giggling when mastering
a bottle squirter in the bathtub
while more water is out of the tub than inside the tub.
….
Six stories some read twice
Three retelling of Goldilocks
Fifteen times answering
»Where is momma and daddy? »
…
Pretending to be asleep in a boat
while someone else is experiencing
their shadow on the bedroom wall.
…
Having my closed eye lids poked,
while someone whispers
« Vavie? »
Falling asleep with feet on my face at 8pm.
