Minky & Me

Coco loves looking at a frame filled with honeymoon photos that sits next to the TV in the den. The glass that covers each photo slides out; there is no closure. Coco is always fiddling with the glass, much to my dismay. Just now, she slid a piece of glass out and it fell onto the stand. When I heard it, I looked over. She quickly explained. “I was trying to find me,” she said. “Am I there?” she asked, pointing to a picture of Larry swimming. “Or there?” she said, pointing to a photo of a St Maarten street sign. “No,” I told her. “Was I in your belly?” “No.” “Where was I?” It was a funny moment, explaining that she wasn’t anywhere yet, though in some ways, it seems she’s been here with us all the time.
