😂Around that age, my two came to me arguing because they thought I always had them BOTH in my belly. Younger one was furious b/c she thought I chose her brother to come out first b/c I loved him more. Explanation compliments of said brother.

It’s hard being reminded why I often write what I do. My mother’s bday gifts to me arrived today: framed photo w/a HS prom date, 1/2-used body lotion I gave her, Burger King coupons, a pain pamphlet for Medicare recipients, snarled necklace I left behind.

Basements. I grew up in KS with tornadoes, soft soil, sitting next to mason jars & potatoes. Our TN realtor was confused when basement was a top request. I got one. Rocky ground & radon make it hard apparently. People sit in their bathtubs & neighbors come to our basement.

During the pandemic, our not-needy school district gave out the federal free bags of cafeteria food for at-home kids, same as in-school kids. 60+ moms decided to sign up, sort the unpackaged food & make a show of “giving it away.” District sent out a message to knock it off.

My OB said no more kids. I was cut open for major surgery (2nd section) anyway.
The irony is my husband could go on his lunch hour to get a vasectomy. W/out my permission. W/out telling me. No second line.

I didn’t buy a lot of those things for baby. I bought them to help ME with baby. It’s okay to buy that stuff & other things for - mom. Why make it harder just to make a list? Did she not buy baby a car because walking 10 miles to the park in the snow carrying him was good? Sigh.

My parents subscribed to the “eat what you get & don’t throw a fit/go to your room plan.” I know now most was about money being tight. There were weird 70/80s adult-y foods that were just served. Always cereal. My mom also went through a weird health food kick. Carob. Nut milk.

My teenager can’t wear shorts to school because she’s tall & has giraffe legs. I bought an assortment at Target & not one pair was in code. But — no one has to wear a mask or be taught non-existent CRT so all is good.

Writing hive mind — I need an onomatopoeia word for the sound a bullet makes when it hits glass filled with fluid or a metal can. I’m coming up short. Not a description, the sound word. Anyone? Thanks in advance!

My personal rule: if I’m submitting I should be reading somewhere too. Being a 1st reader or editor gives a different perspective. Seeing the talent that isn’t accepted is eye-opening. I get rejected a lot, but I also have to reject too. Thousands of times. It hurts both ways.

I’m a proponent of labeling tiny fiction - check out the dribbles & drabbles in The Dribble Drabble Review spring issue! This was born in a

Soaps w/grandma. After school specials. Liquid plastic for blowing bubbles. Love Boat & Fantasy Island with my older cousins. The 1st movie I saw in the theater was Bambi & then my parents took us to The Jazz Singer & a 3-hour long war movie. Riding in back window shelf of car.

There are things I imagined happening when I wrote a book. Being on a physical bookstore shelf was a big one, maybe *the* biggest. I've been staring at that slash of pink all morning. Independent bookstores and small presses are awesome.
