little joys of parenting

[thanate]

An essential difference between the Megatherium and her parents is that even when she's having an EVERYTHING IS HORRIBLE morning she insists that it's "Not everything." Even if she can't think of anything that isn't horrible just now, her automatic response is the disclaimer.

(I am slightly terrified that we'll mess this up for her. Or something else will. She's still telling me she's scared of the dark, but I think that's become her euphemism for everything else that's a problem.)

I have managed to be like that all through, and not because nothing bad has ever happened to me, so: have hope.
