Caitlyn on Life
I've been meaning to write this up for, well, a year and a half now. An exchange I had with Caitlyn when she was two left an impression on me:
We were talking about her quilt, and how all of her relatives and friends of the family had made squares, and she asked where were the squares that Mama and Papa had made? I explained that we didn't make any squares in the quilt because we had been busy making her.
She said, "You made me?"
I said, "Yes, Mama and I made you together."
She thought about this for a moment and said, "Thank you."
