Any mother knows that when her child is unusually quiet, it’s generally a sign of trouble. So this morning when I realized Nadia was being dangerously quiet, I knew it was time to go investigate.
I found her sitting beside our bed, gooey chocolate covering her face, her hands, her shirt and the white carpet. Next to her lay the empty wrapper of Daddy’s chocolate bar.
Oh joy, yet another mess to clean up and a kid with a sugar high.
But then she looked at me and flashed this endearing smile. Seriously, how can you stay annoyed at a kid who grins like that?!
(the mess was much more dramatic originally…this was after she was already mostly cleaned up)
