Yesterday Robin and I got caught out in the rain when we were at the park. Robin registered his displeasure as the raindrops hit his head:
Robin: Oh! Oh! Moooomeeeee!
Me: Sorry, buddy, I can’t turn off the rain.
A pause, then:
Robin (hopefully): Daddy?
Me: No, your daddy can’t turn the rain off either.
I thought that was pretty hilarious. If Mommy can’t do it, Daddy probably can!
I'm a writer and mom living in Oakland. This is my personal blog; I write about parenting, cooking, local issues, books, and anything else that's rattling around inside my head.
I am the author of The Millennial Sword, an urban fantasy novel set in San Francisco, and two read-aloud picture books for kids, The Big Booger Bubble and Gail Murphy and the Piskies.
My short fiction is included in the anthologies Fae, Love Hurts, and Speculative Story Bites:
