So here's how it is for you,

Those of you who think my life is all poetry and bonbons all day!

I made the mistake of asking my older son

How this sweater looked,

And he told me it looked like it had started out to be a short sweater,

And two toddlers had tugged on it so much and stretched it out too long.

And I said, "That is exactly what happened!

You tugged one side,

And your baby brother tugged the other four years later!"

Then as we got in the car,

The younger one quietly asked,

"Mom, HOW long HAVE YOU HAD that sweater?"
