Spy

 

Me: [reading in the living room, then spot Annalise across the room, peering at me craftily around the side of the sofa chair]

Annalise (3yrs): [notices I might have seen her, so quickly scampers over behind another piece of furniture, then pauses a few moments, and scampers to another one]

Me: Um, …. what’s up?

Annalise: [whispers] I’m practicing SNEAKING.

Me: [chuckle a little]

Annalise: [entirely serious] Don’t smile, Mommy. This is SERIOUS business. It’s important. You DO NOT see me. [tip toes, with side-ways suspicious glances, out of room]

Me: [proud sigh]

About Christi

I am a single mother with two young daughters who are the world to me. I am a philosophy professor, especially fond of Kierkegaard and Augustine. Presently, I teach as an adjunct at a plethora of colleges in the Houston area, trying to make ends meet. Creating art brings me immense joy, but only recently have I begun to venture into the arena of making my creations a consumer commodity. I'd rather my work be created as a good in itself, and given to those I love. But necessity breeds invention, they say, and human beings have to eat.
