who loves to
dress up, put on
a paper Captain
America mask
and a blond
wig and came
running into
the kitchen
yelling, “Look
at me! I’m Miss
America!”

We were going
through toys to
donate, and I
mentioned
that the pile
would be taken
to Goodwill.
A few minutes
later, my
daughter asked,
“Mommy, do you
think we can go
to good Will’s
house one day?”

My daughter
was having a
hard time
saying goodbye
before school,
so I decided to
let her call her
dad to make it
easier. He was
trying his best
to soothe her
and said, “If
you go to school,
I’ll take you
anywhere you
want.” Between
the tears she
replied, “Disney!”

my d au ghter,

“Muffins are
just naked
cupca kes,”
she replied.
