The Water Lies Quotes

“Bud, let’s give the nice lady her space.” I peer over at her, expecting her to respond that it’s fine, to wave or coo or tell me how adorable Jasper is. Instead, she ignores us, and I’m starting to get offended. Gabe teases me that not everyone wants to marvel at other people’s children. But Jasper is impossibly cute. Strangers comment on it all the time. As I silently chide this woman for not acknowledging my son’s unparalleled cuteness, I realize that I’ve become one of those mothers.”
