Today’s prompt: Write about a small detail from your childhood that stayed with you.
Forget my childhood, there’s a small detail from Emi’s childhood that I want to remember: today, we “talked” to each other. She made a gentle gurgling sound, and I replied with one. We conversed through gentle gurgles. We both smiled and giggled. This went on for quite some time, long enough for me to call Hannah over to take a voice memo of the interaction.
To round it off, I “ate” one of her hands while she had the other one in her mouth. It felt like she understood the joke and was playing along.
Magic.
Oh, I also got a juicer today. Our weekly box of fruits and vegetables was delivered, too. I thought the freshly squeezed orange and apple juices were going to be today’s highlight.
Hardly.
