Dear Elli,
On Monday, October 7, 2013, I ruined your life.
That's what you said. I'm not shitting you.
You were attempting to open a Princess bandaid. By yourself. Because it will be a cold day in hell when you allow me to assist you with anything.
And you got it all stuck together. It would not come unstuck. Which rendered it useless for your imaginary wound. And that was the last bandaid in the box.
So you looked me dead in the eye. And said, "You just ruined my whole life!"
So, when you are older and you face your first true crisis in life, remember something for me. Whatever that crisis may be, it will not ruin your whole life.
Because I already did. On October 7, 2013. The day I somehow caused you to screw up your last Princess bandaid.
I love you.
Mom
