Fun With Ella

Dear Laney,

Your dad, who knows everything about everything obscure, says that the Inuit people would often leave their small children behind in an igloo while they went out to work, and would leave the sled dogs in charge of babysitting.

I would have doubted this story if Ella hadn't been giving me the impression lately that she thinks she could do a better job at this mothering thing than I can. Sometimes when you cry, Ella howls at me, like "YOU'RE DOIN' IT WRONG!"

At least I don't lick your face. Usually.

Love,

Mom
