the one...

when he first started going to school,
i would ask my sweet babychop,
who did you sit next to at lunch today?
before he knew the names of his classmates,
he would describe them to me.

"the one with the pocket on his shirt."

"the one with the crazy hair"

"the one with the boo-boo on his face."

and my favorite:
"you know, mama...you know the one? he says, 'NO!!!! not you! ME! not you, MEEEE!!!'
you know that one mama?"

yes,sweetpea. i know that one.
we all do.
