Troubled

She’s in the kitchen pretending to wash dirty dishes….music blaring from her headphones, head bobbing from side to side…she’s on planet Bliss….I tap her lightly on the shoulder…

Me: I’m doing laundry. Do you have anything dark to wash?

The water stops running…..slowly, very slowly she turns to face me…& whispers…

Daughter: My soul….

Me: For godsakes!!!

Standard

    Bunmi I love this. An inspiration to write down similar conversations in our house but my daughter always ends up SHOUTING AT ME ABOUT FEMINISM AS IF I’VE NEVER HEARD OF IT. Sal
