When We Talk for 20 Minutes

Here’s what happens on a sunny afternoon when I insist on Marilee taking twenty minutes to talk with me about her day. She tries on some dresses for upcoming events. We end up lying on the bed chatting about school and friends and soccer. We watch videos from her recent track meets. I take selfies and she covers her face. Then we make funny faces for the camera that she does not want me to share with the internet. And then we smile.

Marilee and Amy Julia take a selfie with Marilee hiding her face with her hands and Amy Julia smiling widely at the camera Marilee and Amy Julia take a selfie with Marilee peeking through her fingers and Amy Julia smiling widely at the camera
