My Apprentice

"Mom, Mom... please don't disturb my work. I'll talk to you later."

OK, Babe. I won't disturb your work.

"Mom, Mom... do you want to know what work I'm doing?"

Yes, I'd love to know. What work are you doing?

"I'm doing my writing work. I'm working very, very hard to do very good writing work. Do you want to know why?"

I'd love to know why.

"So I can be a good writer just like you, Mama. And then... and then... if I work really hard and be a good writer like you, we can write things together. Right, Mama?"

We already do, Baby. We already do.

Pardon me while my heart bursts.
