Endearing Things

  • Dogs have wet noses, but it's not snot. They kiss you, but it's actually more like being licked. With fine-grain sandpaper. 
  • Babies have rolls of fat on their thighs, but it's gorgeous. They are blissfully unconcerned that they look like the Michelin Tire man and they don't go on diets.
  • Kindergarten kids choose their own clothes sometimes. They think that pink and blue stripes look good with red floral patterns. And that sweat pants were made to be worn tucked into cowboy boots. 
  • White haired ladies do yoga sitting in chairs.
  • Girl Scouts sell cookies from little red wagons.
  • Three year olds might sing their prayers once in while, just for the joy of it.

  1. You're like Maria before she became a Von Trapp singing about your favorite things! Lovely sentiments.

  2. This sounds like a list--hopefully one of many from the upcoming novel. And listmaking is lovely.
