“Hold on tight mommy. Otherwise you could fall down and then you’ll be sad,” my daughter advises me as we sway back and forth on the standing room only bus.
Otherwise? Did she really say otherwise?
Passengers smile at her. She chatters. Looking out the window, she says “Look mommy! That cloud looks like a big rabbit!”
Mommy, if you see a dandelion, will you pick it for me?
Yes, Liana. If I see a dandelion I will pick it and give it to you.
And if you see a white one, will you pick it? And can I blow on it? Can I make a wish?
Yes Liana. If I see a white dandelion, you can pick it and blow on it and make a wish.
Mommy, I’m going to wish that you get me a surprise, ok?
Passengers giggle. At least two or three times a week on the bus, someone asks me how old she is. When I say 2 ½, they always gasp in disbelief.
