the socks that yelled
her socks were yelling at her. that's what she said. and somehow you understood exactly what she meant, even though you'll never feel a sock yell as long as you live.
that's the strange gift of this age. she still has the words for things adults forgot how to feel. a seam. a scratch. a wrongness she can't point to on a map but can point to on her own skin.
nobody warned us that the biggest fights of toddlerhood would be this small. and this real, to her.
try thiswhen she says something feels wrong that you can't see, believe her first, investigate second. "socks that yell" is a real sentence about a real feeling. she's not being difficult. she's being specific.
we're finding 1000 mums who believe her first. between us, coming. link below if you're one.
