Earlier today, while I was in the bathroom getting ready, my kiddo was lying on the floor in the hallway next to the bathroom door, feet on the wall, spinning and moving the way young bodies do (and are allowed to do)…I smiled as I watched and listened to her.
She was asking all sorts of questions.
One question was about me.
“Mama, when you were a little girl, what did you want to be when you grew up?”
I reflected on this rather than give her a “rushed mama” response.
“I wanted to be like Under Dog. I wanted to be a writer, journalist and a Hero who exposed evil and helped remove it.”
She smiled and said “Kinda like you’re doing now, huh?”
Bingo.
I guess in a way I am living that life I saw of myself when I was 7. (Although I wanted the super powers of Mighty Mouse too – who at the time – according to a booklet I made about myself in first grade – was my Hero.)
Just wanted to share something sweet tonight. Off to watch another movie. Last night we watched “Rear Window” with Jimmy Stewart and Grace Kelly. A good pick.
Love,
Victoria
Too cute! All I can remember is, that I wanted to be free and live a life without all the burdens and obligations, like my parents, just being free and independent and later, when I realised, that that was a mission impossible in this crazy world, I just wanted to find a way out of here… well, kinda like I’m doing now! ;-D
lol well yeah that too – that freedom thing really began entering my space in high school…high school graduation all of the girls cried – including myself – only i was the only one crying because i was finally free of that prison. they cried because they would miss the experience. ha! lol
Out of the mouth of babes….!
