DAILY SNACK
Do you see that smudge under my eye?
No, it’s not yesterday’s mascara.
It’s my black eye.
Let’s just say that Colum and I had differing opinions
On how long it should take one boy to put on one pair of snowpants.
The eye was just a bit of collateral damage.
It doesn’t look nearly as bad as it hurt at the time.
Then, when I showed the bruising to Colum,
And told him I had a black eye,
He said,
“Oh no, Mommy. When you wake up will it be green again?”
Too sweet, all is forgiven.
