My niece is full of things that I wish I had more of- wonder, excitement, curiosity, playfulness, bravery, certainty.
I listen to her and I remember being like her. Before the homework gets to you. Before the peer pressure and school rumors chip at your happiness. Long before dating and unreturned affections, and taxes and bills, and presidential races. Long before life catches up with you.

ReplyDeleteDo you have hula hoops? And no children? Now, I have to wonder, are you still as fun as a 7 year old?! :) (And no, when you don't have kids, you do not have to get out of your pjs on Saturday. Enjoy it while you have it!)
