I got affectionate humility from my parents - we are a family of inveterate teasers, so that humor is a sign of intimacy that also makes sure no one can take themselves too seriously among relatives. My mom, naturally, led the way in that.
I love young Amelia. I also had a big black backpack that fit too many things 😂
I recently remembered the fact that there used to be carpet in my childhood home, hearing my parents whisper about how it was probably exacerbating my asthma, and then the carpet magically becoming hardwood. They always made big efforts seem simple, no brainers. Love is so mysterious.
Wow. It’s beautiful how far parents will go to keep their kids safe and healthy. The way you recount it definitely evokes the weird magic haziness of childhood.
All solid, all sweet. Very nice!

That’s really healthy! I bet that made you all more resilient people. I wish our family had a little more of that, tbh.
