Kids, an ongoing post

#1. try not to take them to 'adult' parties

#5. kids become fussy and/or whiny after they start to feel better from being sick

Instead,                I close my eyes &                remember mom,      twirling in her long denim-blue dress              on our porch                             under the rain. Mom would take us                outside in the rain                to bathe together,    ...
