When you are almost 4

When you are almost 4 you have a lot of opinions. You know that you don't want to marry the little boy down the street..."definately".



When you are almost 4, you know for a fact that your sister said an unkind thing for "no apparent reason"...even though you are the one holding her broken toy in two different hands...



When you are almost 4, you know that anything that happened before you last slept is in the past and can no longer be held against you. And when you wake, whether after a refreshing night's sleep or a short nap, you describe everything in that distant past as "nester-year"...



When you are almost 4, you are continually startled by the loud guffaws of your parental units as you, VERY logically, explain various elements in your life in great solemnity and physical gesticulation and the use of the expression "really".



And you are never surprised by a camera snapping during even the most inane moments of your life because you are aware that your mother loves you now as she loved you in far off nester-year, definately and for no apparent reason. When you are almost 4, you know these things...and use them to your advantange...really, really.



See ya around...
