One Good Thing

Playing keep-away with my two year old niece, Serenity. She had a big purple balloon my sister gave her and was tossing it all over the place. Well, me and my sister, being much taller than Serenity, passed the balloon between the two of us and over the little one's head. She loved it. Even when she got dizzy and stumbled she was giggling.

I don't know why I've suddenly developed a tolerance for children. It's very strange. I've even had the faintest inclination to become a parent myself.

But that's crazy talk! I'm a mess. At least, right now.

Still, it was fun acting like a kid again. The most wonderful thing happened. I forgot all my problems for about ten minutes.
