When Sophie (my 3-year-old) was told that I was away at a meeting all this past week, she had this to say to my wife:
“Maybe I can go outside and I can find my car and then I can drive the wheel and you can sit in front of me and I can find Daddy at the meeting and bring her home.”
Other than her ongoing problem with gender and pronouns, this is pretty much the sweetest thing I ever heard.
Man, I know what you’re talking about. Am I ever glad to be back to my little girls too! It was great seeing you though. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, or something like that :)
