In His Own Words

Since the school year is ending the boys are bringing home a year's worth of writing and art. This afternoon Jake and I sat on the floor and paged through folders of his drawings and poems and I found a "poem" he wrote about me.

My mom kisses me.
She says she is proud of me.
My mom's hair is beautiful.
I love my mom.
My mom takes me to the mall.
My mom drops me off at my daddy's office.
Me and my mom go to the movies together.

For all the things he could have said about me I am surprised, flattered and relieved this is what he came up with.
