"you guys are good parents"

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2016.10.18

Our four-year-old surprised me this morning, sticking her head into the washroom and saying, "You guys are good parents."

I blinked at her and said, "What? What makes you say that?"

She shrugged, smiled, and said, "You and o-kaa-san, you just are."

Well OK then.
