“When We Were Little” Wednesday

When I was little, my dad set out one day to explain familial relationships to me. At the time, my grandmother was visiting, and this provided a good example.

“I am Grandmother’s son, and she is my mom,” he explained. “You’re my daughter, and I’m your dad. So she is my mother, and your grandmother.”

“No, I’m Jessica!” I told him, completely confused and concerned that my dad had just forgotten who I was.

Dad loves to tell that story, and I love to throw an innocent, “I’m Jessica!” into the conversation whenever I can.
