Wagon Built For Two

You will just have to take my word

When I tell you about how I put both kids in the wagon the other day.

DAILY SNACK

Because I am the last person

In the world

To have a cell phone that doesn’t have a camera in it,

And because I often forget the actual camera at home,

You will just have to take my word

When I tell you about how I put both kids in the wagon the other day.

Colum sat with his back on the far end

And his legs straight out.

And then Irene sat between Colum’s legs with her back to his chest.

I told him to wrap his arms around her and hold her

So she wouldn’t fall out.

And he did.

I pulled them down the street

And when I looked back at my kids,

They were both grinning as big and wide as their faces would go.

It was quite possibly

The sweetest thing I have ever seen in my life.

Can you picture it?

(Sorry.)
