So Honeybun and Bailey got home Sunday night after visiting my in-laws for a couple of weeks. I was helping unpack and took some things downstairs to put away. Of course Bailey followed me. While I was putting things away, she climbed onto the desk chair in front of the computer. The computer was off, but she was pushing buttons on the keyboard like she was using it.
A minute or so into it, Bailey announced, “Just checkin.”
I asked, “What are you checking?”
In that little 2-year old, matter-of-fact voice she said, “just checkin email.” Cracked me up.
Sign of the times. Email was not known when I was her age. I wonder if that means Honeybun and I check it too often.
Anyway, I’m glad they are back. Strange how those little moments make life worth living. Like Merlin Mann said the other day, “Weird part about being a parent isn’t that I’m living all the clichés I ever hated; I’m just startled by how much I’m enjoying them.”
