i envy the innocence of childhood.
i brought hailey down to feed the fish in the water feature downstairs, and it really is heartwarming to see a child fling pieces of bread into the water and see her smile at the fish fighting for bread.
her face lights up with laughter and her hands come to me outstretched for more bread. it brings a smile to my face, even if i express annoyance when she puts her hands into the water to try and move the bread that the fish fail to see(and eat). i miss the days where i used to do that too.
being an older sister makes me panic when she does that, and i screech warnings of WATER PARASITES and DIRTY at her, even if she doesn’t understand a word of what i say and continues to to splash water at me.
of course, i make a mental note to tell the maid to give her a thorough washing of her hands with anti-bacterial soap……………………..
i long for a hailey of my own too.
