Happy

Yesterday, when I dropped off Lamb at school, I drove off with half an eye on her to make sure that masked and caped miscreants didn't abduct her between my car door and the school door. If you're a dad, you understand that.

But what really made me smile on that sunny Monday morning was that she broke into a skip as she headed for the door. That is such a little-girl thing to do that seems to break out when innocent happiness takes control of the mind and propagates out to the limbs.

It made me happy to see her core happiness expressing itself. I don't skip, of course. (And that isn't only because my foot is painfully swollen up with a mystery infection.)
