It’s Spirit Week at the Girl’s high school, and today’s theme was rhyme without reason. She explained it to me when I asked why she was wearing a yellow vest. She was pairing with a friend for the rhyme part: L’s portion was construction worker. I can’t remember what her friend’s outfit was the rhymed. At any rate, I off-handedly mentioned that K probably still had her hard helmet from her previous job.

The Girl’s eyes light up.

“Really?!?” And off she sprinted to our bedroom. “Mama, do you still have your hard helmet.”

She was thrilled to find that she indeed still has her hard helmet.

It was wonderful to start the day with such a smile.
