Someday||Portland
Fade In. Kitchen in the early morning. Sunlight trickles in, but just barely. Indy sits at kitchen counter eating honey yogurt. I enter into room and watch him for a minute. He asks if I could please hold him, so I pick him up. After a few moments, I am feeling reflective and nostalgic and tender towards my son, but also my arms are aching. This prompts me to say: I can’t believe how big you are! You are almost FIVE and someday you will be a man with a moustache and big feet… And he says: I DO NOT want to! And so I say: Don’t want to what? And then he says: Be a man with a moustache! And so I say: Well, what do you want to be? And he says: I want to grow-up and be a GIRL someday. And then I say: You can be anything you want to be someday. And then he asks if he could please watch some Lady Gaga now. Fade out.
there's no place like home.
whatever that grow up wish is, us here in this motley land of oz are ready to help them ruby shoes grant it- heeled or not. that kid is so lucky to be loved without judgment and this, i believe, is one of the secrets that makes his smile so wide. lady gaga is lucky to have a fan like indy.
I love you Indy…always and forever… You bring smiles and laughter to my heart..xoxo Pimmy
