Last night, the baby (19 mo/old, E) came running around the corner into the kitchen. He was looking triumphant because he had just raided my purse and had my lipstick clutched in his little hand. I asked him, “Baby, why do you always get Mama’s lipstick out of her purse?” Without missing a beat, he said, “I-don-know.” Whoa! I really didn’t think that he would answer me. I do wish he would choose something else to get out of my purse. Lipstick just isn’t the same after a little boy has messed with it.

What did you want to be when you were young? I can’t remember if I ever knew what I wanted to be. I do remember having friends who absolutely knew what they wanted to be….doctor, lawyer, artist, etc. I think that I was/am a little envious of folks that just know. Not that it really matters. And, I’m sure that the percentage of people who actually are doing what they always wanted to do and are happy doing it is pretty low. Still.
