Sparkles

"I have two 'parkles on my nose," she grins into the mirror and at me.

"Sparkles?" I smile back. "You mean freckles?"

"Yes," my little girl says. "Do you have freckles on your nose, yike me?"

"Yep. I have tons of freckles. See? They're all over my face!"

She giggles. "Caed doesn't have 'parkles. Only me and you, cuz we are gi'lz, right? And I have two freckles and you have YOTS of freckleezes, cuz you are da mommy, right?"

"Right." I say.

And I kiss her, right on her sparkles.
