"Every family has a story that it tells itself, that it passes on to the children and grandchildren. The story grows over the years, mutates, some parts are sharpened, others dropped, and there is often debate about what really happened. But even with these different sides of the same story, there is still agreement that this is the family story. And in the absence of other narratives, it becomes the flagpole that the family hangs its identity from." A.M. Homes

Cursive
I am a little nervous about this post. Not because I am revealing anything super secretive about my family, but because that photo is my signature and I fear that some handwriting analyst out there will analyze it and my craziness will be revealed. But in the meantime, I have to tell this story.
As you know, Eden and Clara are well into the first year of Kindergarten. The first Kindergarten field trip is quickly approaching - which meant I had to sign and return a permission slip. In a few weeks, Eden and Clara will be headed out to Johnson Farms to visit the pumpkin patch with all their new school friends. Wow!
As I signed the form, this was the conversation that ensued:
Clara: Mom, what are you writing on that line?
Me: My name
Clara: Lump Lump Lump Bax
I guess that is how cursive looks to a 5-year old!
Have a great weekend!
