My granddaughter Maya, excited that she was learning to spell names, was showing this skill to a friend of mine. She quickly blurted out the spelling of her name and that of her sister. My friend asked, “Can you spell your mommy’s name, too?” Expecting to hear her spell the name Lindsay, Maya said, “Yes. M-O-M!”

The day after I got bangs cut for the first time in a really long time, I noticed my son intently studying my face and hair. After a few minutes he said, “Wow, Mom, I really like your new bangs. They really cover up the wrinkles on your forehead.” Shocked and somewhat amused, I asked him if he was trying to say that Mommy needed Botox, to which he replied, “No, I’m trying to say you need a whole lot more bangs.”
