Honesty

This little conversation took place between our middle Granddaughter, Riley (5) and her little sister Morgan (2 1/2)

Riley: Morgan?
Mo: Yes Wiley?
Riley: I love you!
Mo: Thanks.
Silence. Nothing. More Silence.
Riley: Morgan?
Mo: Yes Wiley?
Riley: Don't you want to say it back?
Mo: No.
Silence. Nothing. More Silence.
Riley: Mo?
Mo: Yes Wiley?
Riley: Why don't you want to say it back?
Mo: Just don't.
Silence. Nothing. More Silence.
Mo: Riwey?
Riley: (sullenly) yeeees Morgaaan?
Mo: I love you back Riwey.
Riley: (in a happy little voice) I'm glad! That's why we are sisters.

Not sure why but this little conversation really moved me.

Hi! Thanks for leaving a comment! My handy dandy e-mail assistant always notifies me when you do and I read every single one.

I try to respond to comments with a return e-mail BUT I just noticed that I've been answering a lot of them to blogs that haven't linked their e-mail address to their Google account! I haven't been ignoring your comments, but now I know you aren't getting my reply e-mails! I'm sorry!

I know a lot of other bloggers who respond to comments via e-mail so if you haven't left off your e-mail on purpose, you might want to add it on! If you don't know how you can let me know in your comment and I'll see if I can help you!

Thanks so much for reading my 'Tangents'! Your comments always feel like a hug!
