Born with darling dimples that frame her impish face, M has the most contagious belly laugh that resonates deep within one's soul. With that laughter comes an adult-size sense of humor which sometimes causes her parents a bit of grief when she is misunderstood by her same-age peers.
Sitting with good friends last night while we awaited the start of our oldest daughter's first choir concert, M was visibly upset that her younger sister had found a friend to sit beside. A family friend noticed her disappointment and immediately made an attempt to strike up a conversation with M. "M, would you like to come by me? We can talk about school...and boys...and giggle!" M wasn't buying into it. I then attempted to prompt her slightly by offering, "M, tell Robin who the Grand Marshall in the parade is going to be." M took the bait, "Grandpa George!" Robin was quick to tell her how exciting that must be and asked her if she and her sister would be riding alongside. M explained that she wasn't sure yet, as parade details were still in development. When Robin asked if M had been practicing her "parade wave", M didn't miss a beat. With a twinkle in her eyes and a showcase of those lovely dimples she simply stated, "I been practicing my whoooole life!"
