Clipping bushes.
That is all I was doing.
She was out in the sand box scooping and dumping.
Filling her shoes with the good stuff....
It was less than a few seconds that I strayed out of her sight.
And at once I heard her sing song voice call out
Mama, you lost me!
It came again, before I had a chance to reply.
This time it was louder and more desperate,
Mama, you lost me!
With a smile on my face I took one step to my left so that she could see me.
She took a long look at me, maintained eye contact and began her performance:
Mama, you lost me....where are you?
Both of her eyes twinkled.
Oh the theatrics.
