This parenting gig

Very, very rarely do I think, “I’ve got this parenting thing figured out.”

Actually, I’ve never thought that. Ever.  (Nor have I ever met a parent who ever thought that.  Ever.)

But very, very rarely I do think, “Maybe I’m not doing everything wrong.”

Like when Frances pulls out a New Yorker, makes herself comfortable on the couch, and “reads.”



I can take some credit for that, yes?  Maybe if we start studying now, as an adult she’ll have a vocabulary to rival Anthony Lane’s.

A mother can dream.
