Such a Fun Age

by Kiley Reid

She couldn’t wait to reach a point in their relationship where she wouldn’t have to sit on opportunities for growth that Emira would hopefully carry with her for the rest of her life. This video you’re embarrassed of? Alix wanted to tell her, It’s honestly not that bad, and it shows how much you love my kid. And this water bottle you’ve been using? It might give you cancer so let’s get you a new one made with glass or stainless steel. And this thing you did by accident? With the plants and the aquarium? It’s so, so lovely and your instincts were spot on. And I know that a couch is a huge investment but it’s one of those things you’ll want to spend money on. And these are the staple items you want to have in your closet. And this is a meal that looks fancy but it’s really not. And this is how to crack an egg with one hand; you practice with a quarter and two Ping-Pong balls. This was not the time to share these things, but with Emira working full-time, Alix would definitely get her chance.
