almost every wednesday night

‘papa’ comes home

(from work)

just before dinner

and i head out to ‘clack and yack’

(with the taunton girls).

*

last week my youngest saw me

pick up my bag to go and said,

“where ya going mama?”

*

i said,

“knitting”

which she quickly followed with

“but i want to go, too’.

*

“i hear you, baby.  but, mama’s going

to knit with her friends.

it’s really only for big grown-up girls.”

*

“oh no.  not like that.

you don’t understand.

i only want to go to little knitting, mama.”

(she makes me smile, this sweet little one of mine.)

‘little’ taken from 18:1-5 in matthew.
