Sing
In March our family visited Miami because
my husband had a convention there. My 2-year-old son, Devon, and
I decided to visit the famous Miami Zoo (which was wonderful),
but traffic was terrible on the way back to pick up my husband.
Ordinarily, I try to keep a cheery face on most situations in front
of Devon, but the strain of driving unaided in a strange and busy
city while working to beat a deadline finally caught up to me,
and I slumped against the steering wheel in despair (at a red light,
I should note, not while driving). Devon noticed this from the
back seat and gravely advised “Sing, Mommy. It’ll make
you feel better.” Laughing with tears in my eyes, I replied “YOU
make me feel better, Devon.” I thank God for giving me
a little voice of reason in the back seat of my car.
