Peri Elizabeth, is a diva in her own right, shes three, sassy, and knows whos boss-herself. Peri Elizabeth started at my moms daycare when she was only four months old. From the day she started she has been slowly becoming my mom favorite child. My mom doesn’t just have an only child anymore, she also has Peri. I think slowly and gradually my mom is laying all her hopes and dreams on Peri because I have failed her over and over again.
Peri and I have countless encounters where I usually end up crying. Yes I know im the grown woman and shes the child. Peri just has this lovely effect ON ME. You see I think im threaten by a 3 year old, its sad but true. When my mom first met Peri and they had that immediate bond. I knew I was done for. My mom babying me, ends here and now forever.
My hair usually has a mind of its own. Having to tame it is an understatement. Since I work with children and they are not supposed to judge I usually have it up in a bun. If I straightened it everyday I would be bald right now. Anyways, one day I noticed Peri staring at me every curiously. So I asked her why she was staring at me. She looked me straight in the eyes and asked “ummm nu-nu does somthin live in your hair becuz its soooooooo big” my heart just about sunk when she asked me this. Maybe bc I was PMSing I got so upset or maybe because I was in genuine shock. Either way I responded as any normal adult would have done. “why yes peri, it’s a nest for birds” of course shes to smart and dignified to even respond to that so she did what she usually does when im talking, and walked away.
Interesting...Keep writing!
