This afternoon the Zebster and I took all of the girls to the park a couple of blocks from our house. Aubrey (5) was playing underneath the slide in a little tube when she yelled, “Oh look, Momma! It’s a picture about a boyfriend and a girlfriend!!”
I flashed back to my older brother’s Little League game when I was playing underneath a slide and read The Worst Word in The History of the World written in black magic marker. Of course, I didn’t realize it was The Worst Word in The History of The World until I spelled it to my mother and asked her what it meant…
Back at the park I sprinted across the grass with a Capri-Sun in my hand and jumped into the tube with her…to see a childish scrawl of stick figures and hearts and sloppily written “I <3 You." Thank God.
