The Apple That Wouldn't Die


Dear Laney,

It was so nice out today that we decided to stop at Frenchtown Pond on the way home from running errands. We drove through McDonald's and got an iced tea for me and a bag of apple slices for you. I can tell you that whatever those apples cost, it was the best money I've spent in a long time.

I handed you one slice and you entertained yourself for half an hour. That's right - a full thirty minutes. Which in Laney time is like a year and a half.







The apple held on 'til the very end, when you dropped it in a pile of leaves, smashed it in the dirt a little, then tried to lick it clean.

That's when your mean mean mommy finally took it away.

Love,
Mom
