we were at a block party the other day. our neighbor and friend, who is five, and i started talking about our flower tattoos we had gotten. then it changed.
"so, how old are you?"
"15. how old are you?"
"5! but why are you so small if you're 15?"
"well, my bones grow slower than everyone else's. i'm 15 inside, but on the outside it doesn't really look it."
"oh! but why don't you just drink more milk? that's what my mommy says to do, then i'm going to grow big and strong!"
"well, that'll work for you, but it doesn't work the same way for me! :("
then we go back to the flowers and butterflies.
smart girl! i didn't know what to say back to her!
I really like the title you chose! How did that test go on Wednesday??
