This Moment
{this moment inspired by Soule Mama} - A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

The Realities of Playing House
A few days ago Ava, 5 years old, and Aria, 3 years old, were overheard "playing house." The following is an actual conversation that took place between the two with Ava playing the daughter, also known as "the honey" to my girls, and Aria playing the Mama.
First, a few notes about Aria language. When she speaks her "th" sounds come out as "sss" sounds. She also has a few replacement words and phrases that she regularly uses in place of common ones. The one most pertinent to this story is "booby things," which actually comes out sounding like "booby seengs." (Excited to see where this story's going, huh?) Booby seengs are more commonly known as bras, in case you had a hard time figuring that one out. So, here goes.
Ava: Mommy, why do you wear what you call booby things?
Aria (in a high pitched, 3-year-old version of what a mommy sounds like): Well, honey, mommy's boobies are just a lot bigger than your little girl boobies. So, we have to wear booby seengs or else our boobies will hang down really long and make our shirts look funny.
I feel we've all been enlightened by Aria's explanation of the true mission of the brassiere. Women everywhere are rejoicing daily that they don't have to walk around with funny looking shirts. Yes, I'm aware that make believe tends to imitate reality, and in my defense I have given birth to and nursed six children! With that said, long live Victoria and her secrets!!
