219

a conversation from yesterday:

Otis: Mama, you’re pretty. (rubbing my arm)
me: Oh yeah? Well, thank you.
Otis: I want to marry you! (jumps into my arms)
me: Wow! But I’m already married. I’m married to Baba.
Otis: (looks puzzled for a second) I like you. I like you ALL DAY LONG.

I remember that when Otis was younger, he really wasn’t affectionate at all. At best, he withstood my embarrassing displays with a twinge of pity, waiting until the moment he could race off to the next shiny object. And just as I was resigning myself to a life of awkward one-armed man hugs, life has thrown me some good loving. I’m going to enjoy this as long as he’ll let me.

    Hi, I’m a usual reader of your blog, even I’m a silent one.
    I find your art of collage very interssant and with beautiful simplicity and poetry.
    I would like to make a link from my blog to your blog with using one of your collage to illustrate my post (I really love the 216, for example).
    Thank you for answer,
    best regards.
