Mother and Children

[ndrosen]

On Saturday, I replenished my supply of socks at Nordstrom Rack, and got into a long line behind a woman with two small children, Kaya, one week short of five, and Kieran, two. I introduced myself, and chatted with Kaya a bit, and also with the mother, especially after the children’s grandmother took them outside the store (the little boy treated the clothing racks as a jungle gym, understandably at that age).

I don’t usually have much contact with small children, so this was a break in my routine.
