While visiting friends in Portland I ended up spending a bit of time babysitting.
The kids were cute – three years old and almost one. Being that they were so young and it was the first time we met I didn’t expect they would remember me.
Day two of hanging out I became ‘the lady.’ “Mama, where is the lady?” “Mama, when is the lady coming back?”
By day three, when we were all hanging out again, I was in the baby’s room rocking him to sleep when I heard the three-year-old ask MiniMe, “Where did your friend go?”
“Hey, lady friend, somebody is looking for you,” her mom shouted out, laughed for some time, and then said, “Lady friend, that’s great.”
