As I put my daughter to bed tonight- we did our usual routine. She runs in her room first --- and hides. I pretend to look for her under her sheets- then I go to the closet to "find a pillowcase." Surprise! There she is. She jumps on her bed- I read her 3 stories. She always asks me if I have a surprise for her tomorrow. I say- "I'll think of something." Then she gives me a few suggestions- naming at least 3-4 toys she saw during those brainwashing commercials. I give her a big kiss- I get a big kiss- and a honk on the nose. We blow one more kiss to each other when I am at the door- and then I leave. BUT- tonight as I was making my way out she asked- "Mama- why do we have eyebrows?"
(crickets chirping)
"Uh..."
"I'll surprise you and tell you tomorrow."
(that was the best I could do! And I went to college!)
