This was our fourth of four consecutive Saturdays following
Sandy’s work scheduled Friday all-nighters. On each of these Saturday mornings, the boys and I would get up and leave the house quietly so as to not disturb Mommy’s sleeping. Each time we have met Pa early for breakfast and then gone to play at the CLC, starting in the gym then moving to the toddler room. Today we repeated the routine but encountered a new wrinkle. A five-year old little girl walked in the room and immediately began taking over. After learning the boys’ names and ages, she announced that they were going to play house and that she was the mommy, Benji was the daddy and Davey was the family dog. The twins looked at her as if she were from outer space, while Pa and I sat back and shared knowing smiles.
