Morning Conversations

in Uncategorized on 24/01/12

“Mama, what are you doing?”

“Cutting out pictures of things that I like.”

“So you can buy them?”

“Yea, or see if I have something similar already.”

Hadley picks up a picture of a Cover Girl Blush and says, “Ooooo!  This is pretty.  It’s pink.  Where can you get this?”

“It says you can buy it at a drugstore.”

“A drugstore?  What’s a drugstore?”

“It’s a place where you go and get things like cough medicine and band-aids.  But one day, someone decided that it would be a lovely idea to put toys and lip gloss and fun things like that in drugstores and that’s how Target was born.”

I teach Hadley the real important stuff.

    Cute. But the question is, what project is Hadley working on? It looks interesting!

    I love these simple, quiet conversations. I hope she gets the pink lipstick!

Hi! I’m Callie. I’m a writer and teacher living in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I write Creative Nonfiction, and in my oldest daughter Hadley’s words, I “use my imagination to add a bit of sparkle to the story.” I’m a contributor for Coffee+Crumbs, Off the Page, Makes You Mom, and Relief Journal. My writing has also been featured on Art House America, Tweetspeak Poetry, Good Letters, and Altarwork, and in 2014 I was one of the cast members of the Listen To Your Mother DC show.

I hold an MFA in Creative Writing from Seattle Pacific University, and I am working on my first book that will be published through TS Poetry Press.
