Letter

Open letter to the mother of the boy I met at the park last week:

Dear Fellow Mom,

Remember last week when our boys played together at the water park? My twins were swinging on the swings when your 4-year-old came up to me and asked if I liked his towel. I said yes, of course. I liked the tropical motif I could see around the edge. When he unfurled his towel in all its glory and pointed to Ariel, the Little Mermaid, I was amused.

You saw me take a few pictures of my kids, right? I followed them a,round the park, and your little boy followed me. I learned that his favorite color was pink, he liked to play with Barbies at daycare, and his other favorite princesses include Belle, Sleeping Beauty, and Cinderella. Your little guy likes to talk! In case you didn't know, he really, really wants the Little Mermaid baby doll he saw with you at K Mart recently.

Now, what it comes down to is this . . . have you seen my camera?

Sincerely,
Rebecca
