Dear Dominic,
As I told my friend and your “aunt” Sophia this week, laughs are in short supply lately. Luckily, I have you.
Let’s discuss one of your quirks.
Ever since you were little, you’ve had a thing about squeezing the bar soap until is a misshapen ball that no one wants to touch. You are 16 and still doing it. Why? I don’t know. You don’t know. But here we are:
Me to you: Please stop mangling the soap.
Gideon to you: Why do you do that?
You: I don’t know.
Me: Well, there are fresh soaps in the drawer.
You: I heard you say that, and I immediately thought, “Not for long.”
We all laughed. And as we were already laughing, I decided to show you a meme that had made me giggle all day:
So, of course, I brought up another meme that has made us cackle in the past:
True to form, we laughed so hard we started wheezing. I started doing that smoker’s laugh I’ve got, even though I’ve never been a smoker. (Friends, you know the one.)
Gideon even started laughing because we were laughing. So I showed him the meme that always gets him going:
It was a good night. Thank you for that. And for being you, even if you do maul the soap.
Love,
Mama
