Here’s the picture that inspired me this week:
Hey Mom,
So there I was at the graduation reception, hanging out with Becky and Uncle Jared, when you came wandering out of the cabin with a Smirnoff Ice in one hand and that camera in the other (like always; do you ever put that thing down?). See the face I’m making in this picture? It’s because I suspect you’re about to steal me from Becky’s lap, but really, I’m perfectly happy here. Uncle Jared put little white flowers in my hair! He even checked them for ketchup bugs, and I learned what a ketchup bug is.
It’s pretty amazing, you know, what a great day we had on Sunday, even if some of it was terrifying. I made sure to wake up nice and early so you and Daddy could make it down to Hartford for Aunt Katie’s graduation in time, even though you tried to pull the blankets over your head and ignore us. Then, once we got there, I sat in Daddy’s lap all quietly, looking at all the people and lights.
But then…. THAT SOUND started, and it scared me. What are “bagpipes” and how does anyone listen to them?! I tried to let everyone in the stadium know how much I hate the “bagpipes”, but they were so loud that only you and Daddy and Babcia noticed me crying.
You know what, though? All the clapping and cheering during the rest of the thing didn’t bother me, and I got to take a nice nap wrapped up in a blanket in your arms. Of course, then everyone around me started to scream and holler when Aunt Katie was called, and I didn’t like that any better than the bagpipes. What is wrong with you people? Don’t you ever think about me? There’s so much new stuff being put in front of me all the time, you’re always taking me new places and showing me new people. I really really try to be good.
And, going back to how cool it was to hang out with Becky and Jared, you were good too. You left me there with them until I was ready to leave. Maybe you’re not so terrible after all.
Love,
Maia.

I agree with Maia, bagpipes are no good.
