He’ll Always be my Baby

“Seth!” I yell from the kitchen.

“What?” he yells back from the living room.

“Is you is, or is you ain’t my baby?”

He giggles from the living room. I get up and walk toward where he is. Standing in the door way, I look at him. He’ll be ten this week. He’s in a white t-shirt and boxer shorts. Black and white checkered fedora on his head at 7AM on a Saturday.

“Well?”

Nothing.

“Is you is or is you ain’t?” I repeat.

He giggles some more.

I walk over to him. Take his head in my hands, guiding it to nod.

This means you is.”

I move his head in a “no” motion,

This means you ain’t,” I say.

He never does dignify my inquiry with an answer, but his eyes twinkle and it’s clear he loves me.

I’m going to take that as an “is.”

    This is a stupid question but if your son were to ask you to teach him how to do a headstand would you

    Dear Michelle, he definitely is!!!! And thanks for the Ben and Jerry video. I don’t think I’d ever seen it before and it’s such great fun. I wonder who was doing the crooning? Peace.
