… while playing house …
4-year-old: mama, you like to cook?
of course, baby. why?
and laundry, too?
[a chuckle] not so much but there are worse things to have to do
and taking care of me?
oh, that’s my favorite. why are you asking?
i want to be a doctor when i get big
that’s my baby, always dream big. i wanted to be a doctor, too
[an excited smile] really?! was it daddy’s dream for you to play house forever?
dreams change,
just don’t let them die
