DAILY SNACK
I was bring Colum out a pair of socks this morning,
When Irene pointed at them,
And very clearly and deliberately said,
“Ock.”
“That’s right, Irene,” I said,
“Socks. Very good job, Irene.”
“Mom,” Colum chimed in,
“She said popcorn!”
Oh, my mistake.
Sorry baby girl,
But no matter how close you come to getting it right,
Your big brother will call you out on your mistakes.
That’s life.
