This morning Julia was all chatty.
Surprising, I know, right?
Anyway, she asked if I was working today. "Yes, for a few hours and then I'll be back."
"Are you working in the night"
Nope.
She cheered.
So did I.
Then she told me she has a lump.
I could see no lumps, and teased her, "Where? Your ears are lumpy? Your nose? I know! You have a lumpy butt! All the Hollywood movie stars have those too!"
(You know how they do that on the tabloids, put some picture of a celebrity's butt and ask us to guess whose it is? THAT seriously cracks me up. That's not news! I got my own butt just as lumpy as anyone in Hollywood.)
Anyway, the lump is in her hair! We can fix it with a spray bottle and a brush. If only all life's problems were so simple. That's the point where I grabbed her and pulled her onto my lap and hugged her and kissed her, "How about you stay little forever?"
She laughed. She's not that little now.
Anyway, I worked, I'm home, and it's FRIDAY. The sun is shining and snow is melting, and it's time to check the kitchen and see what the possibilities are for supper. Happy Friday--maybe we'll have another cheer, even. Where did that kid go? love, Val
