“Do you miss your mommy?”
After a long day of work recently, I was feeling (and obviously looking) tired and down. As I put Zoe to bed, she inquired about what was wrong and then asked, “Do you miss your mommy?” I always miss my mom, I told her, but that wasn’t why I was feeling sad at that particular moment. “Do you miss having a baby?” she asked and then went on to encourage me to “think about things that make you happy. Like being in a swimming pool.”
So. Sweet.
