A clarification

Dear Small Boy,

When I wrote "may you always be willful," it was not meant to apply to dinner time. Or bedtime. Or to the wearing of hats on cold days. It was meant in a Lance Armstrong on L'Alp d'Huez, Roger Federer on grass, Rick Hoyt on Heartbreak Hill* triumph of the human spirit kind of way.

So eat your dinner and go to bed.

Love,
Mama
