Dear Mr. Smith,
We have cool kids.
(my, how my definition of cool has changed over the years.)
Anyhow.
Right now, they are all at the table playing with play-doh. They're being chefs, talking with Italian accents, and serving up things like spaghetti, bread with olive oil and lemon juice, and coffee with caramel and whipped cream. (where did they ever get that idea?)
None of that is the noteworthy part, though. The thing that I admire about them is how they play together, without a thought or a care of how old (or young) the others are.
There's no talk of things being "babyish", no one making another feel silly because they can't do something as well as someone else. They are serving each other, helping and encouraging one another in their creativity.
It is a testament, I believe, to this life that we lead. And it makes me happy.
Contentedly Yours,
Mrs. Smith
