I love this in all it's simplicity, fo rhaving had children of my own and working with youngsters for so many years, I know this is exactly how they think and talk; and yet rarely do we think to capture that innocence to remember those sweet days. Thanks for sharing and for commenting my writes, kindest thoughts, Anna-Marie.
