Do you ever have those parental moments when you are so fully present, so fully enveloped in the wonderful exchange that is taking place between you and your child that you wish it could last forever? You feel so proud of the moment you want it to go on and on and on. I just had Mekdes and Margo sitting on my lap and their legs were touching. We were talking about how their skin color was different, but they were both beautiful and I loved them both with all my heart. I shared with Mekdes that her skin had been kissed by the African sun and that had given her her beautiful color. Again, I was floating on my parental high...I was fully in the moment when Mekdes looked at me and asked...
"Why you smell bad?"
Ahh, brought back down to earth with four small words!!!! The adventure continues...
