    This is my worst nightmare.My daughter’s hair is not brown but it’s not red either. Her eye color lives in the space where blue tickles green. She has one dimple on her right cheek and none on her left. She was born at 7:26 am on a Tuesday in October. 20 minutes after a sunrise that we wouldn’t have seen if we had wanted to look. It was cloudy. We were busy.My sister-in-law said she never saw a baby look so much like their mom. That is, secretly, very satisfying. She’s the neatest little human.

    George's Umbrella

    George had been waiting at the bus stop for some time when the shower started but he had come prepared, he knew it was going to rain, his mother had told him so as he left the house. “Just awww.onedoor.cc few errands to run today, George,” she said, “Mind you get them all done before you come home.” “Yes, mother.”  George always did what his mother told him. He unfurled his umbrella.  It was a big umbrella, not one of those collapsible ones that you can buy at the convenience store which barely keeps your head dry.  This was a proper umbrella.
