Yesterday I noticed Sunshine bobbing on the other side of the coffee table. I knew she wasn’t walking, nor was she crawling. Upon investigation, I found she was shuffling around on her chubby little knees, like a penitent! What a darling! It called to mind the brother with whom she shares a birthday, the Dinosaur. When he was her age, he would shuffle around the house on one knee, as if he were genuflecting. I thought at the time that perhaps someday God would bless our family with a vocation, and maybe my little tyke who shuffled through the house so piously would become our priest.

he might reprise Kevin Kline’s delightfully over-the-top role as the Pirate King.
I am an author and domestic engineer enjoying unbounded domesticity with the husband of my dreams, three fine brave rascally knight errants, seven lovely princesses-in-training, twelve chickens, an indoor cat, and an outdoor cat. And bees, coming soon.
