What I am allowed to say out loud: My baby went to school today. My youngest child, my little boy is growing up so fast. In my head he practically has a mustache and car keys. Sigh.
What I am allowed to think but not say out loud: My baby went to school today. In bringing him to kindergarten, I have delivered him into a world full of joy and learning and friendship, but also failure and rejection and hazing. School will soon replace me as the biggest influence in his life and, as much as I'd like to, I can't completely protect him from the things that might break his heart. And that breaks my heart.
What I am neither allowed to think nor ever say out loud: My baby went to school today. And with him went my excuse for not getting fuck-all and/or the dishes done on any given day.
Oh. And that light is crooked.
