Winning her mother’s favor. For eternity

by Ashley Weeks Cart

Addison has successfully won over my heart.

(As if she hadn’t already).

When she’s thirteen, and begging me to extend her curfew to 1am, all she will have to do is say, Yo Ma, remember that one time when I was only 4 months old, and we took a trip to Catalina Island, exposing me to island life and boat rides for the first time, and I FEEL IN LOVE WITH THE OCEAN!? I quaked and shook and gazed with joy at her blue, salty abyss and was AWED?! And that’s when you knew that I was indeed your child?! Yeah, so what about that curfew?

And she would win. Win because to see her fall so head over heals in love with the briny deep was nothing short of magical, and has won my favor. For ever.

And btdubs, how strange does the Bug look with her hair flat?!

Pretty fucking strange.

It’s now long enough that the weight causes it to droop. And be, like, normal.

And it’s blowing my mind.
