Building Cathedrals
Bean, intently watching out the window as a tree crew hacks down a tree near our house bit by bit: “Mom. I want to do it too.”
Me: “OK Bean, you can help Daddy when it’s time to cut down some tree branches or cut back some bushes. That’ll be a great job for you men.”
Bella: “Mom, I’ll go out and help Daddy and Bean do their dirty work too, OK?”
Me (surprised to hear my forever girly girl volunteering for this task): “OK Bella, that’ll be good too.”
Bella: “Yeah mom, so… you can get me a pink chainsaw and a cute pink tree worker outfit for my next birthday, right?”
That’s more like it.
