A bedtime story... Because of a long, afternoon nap, Rebekah - TopicsExpress

A bedtime story... Because of a long, afternoon nap, Rebekah couldn’t sleep last night. We finally let her climb in between us with some books to peruse. Around midnight, Rebekah and I had put our distractions away and nestled into our pillows, the only two still awake. I gazed into her eyes and she gazed into mine as I tucked her golden hair behind her ear. I smiled. She smiled. I wondered what she was thinking. “Does she feel cherished right now?” I thought. Then she spoke. “Nosebreath stinks sometimes because you can’t brush your nose”. “What?” I asked, breaking out of my sentimental reverie. “Nosebreath stinks sometimes because you can’t brush your nose”. “Oh!” I said, “does my nosebreath stink right now?” “Yes,” she admitted apologetically. “What does it smell like?” I asked, amused. “It...smells like stinky shoes,” she confessed, “and like...hot”. Wow. So we were on TOTALLY different pages. I did not see that one coming.
