The other day, before I left on a business trip, I was getting the 5yo ready for school. I ended up braiding her hair "wrong" & put socks on her feet that were "too big." She started sobbing.
"What is it?" I asked. "The braids?" She shook her head. "The socks?" She shook her head. Then it hit me.
"Are you going to miss me while I'm away?" She nodded.
And I started to cry, too.
