Lil’ Bob Dylan

January 16, 2020March 9, 2020 | Nicole Smeltzer

Toddler singing in the backseat: These mushrooms are glorious and special. We should take them from outside. Maybe we should go to Boston and find a rainbow? Hey, maybe these mushrooms that we've never seen before. Hey, we can do it and this is the end?

Every toddler singing tunelessly to themselves in the backseat sounds just like Bob Dylan.

Or Bob Dylan sounds just like them.

Nobody Nose

Illustration of a little girl asking, "Whose nose do I have, yours or my daddy's?

Mother: Hmm, too early to tell. It's starting to look like mine--

Girl: oh, no!

Mother: --but it could still turn out like your father's?

Girl: oh, NO!

Father peeks into an empty frame, looking self-conscious.

Good night

January 5, 2020 | Nicole Smeltzer

Every bedtime since she could talk, my daughter has said these three things:

"Dood night! I wuv you! I wish I would stop going to bed!"

It's been seven years of "Good night! I love you! I wish I would stop going to bed!"

It always made me laugh. But last night I realized she didn't say it. And that she hadn't said it in a while.

Good night. I love you. I would I would stop hurtling forward through time.
