Beagle, Bagel

3-year-old: I haven’t tasted my Beagle yet.

Me: You mean your bagel.

3-year-old: Yeah. My bagel. A Beagle is a dog. Can we have a Beagle puppy someday? Mommy?

Me: I don’t know.

3-year-old: Will you cut my Beagle now?

    I’ve had this conversation

    this morning…

    with a particular child…

    again…

    I don’t know a better way to teach patience than motherhood. ;-)

    God Bless,

    This reminds me of Jaina in the car today.

    “Man, this song’s got a ribbon!”

    “A ribbon?”

    “Yeah, you know, that thing you keep hearing in the song…” as she clapped along in beat to the music.

    OH! A rhythm!! :)

    Kids come up with the cutest statements. I had to run and get the tape recorder when my kids were little just to hear them say certain words….

    Makes your heart melt everytime.

Hi, I’m Kate

 

I'm the author of two nonfiction books Getting Past Perfect and Weightless, a storyteller*, overthinker, eating disorder survivor, mom of five, book junkie, socially awkward nerd as well as a speaker (so basically a walking and talking contradiction), and a perfectionist in recovery.

I am currently working towards my MFA in Fiction at Warren Wilson. Thank you to everyone who has read my drafts, offered feedback, and cheered me on. The writing life is often solitary, but I wouldn’t be here without a community of support.
