Devaney…my super beautiful, ultra intelligent, amazingly gifted, thirty thirteen year old daughter…I love you!
As we laid, side by side, cuddled up on the race-car bed in the baby’s room tonight, watching the boys play, we somehow got on the subject of the size of a person’s heart. I simply mentioned that D’Lo’s little heart was merely the same size as his tiny fist. I mean, I’ll have to google it (one of my favorite things to do) to verify, but I believe that holds true for most people, right? The size of one’s heart is comparable to the size of their fist?
Well, never the less, she adamantly disagreed (holding her own fist up to her face for inspection)…”There’s no way it’s the same size!” she exclaimed.
“Yes, it is.” I insisted
“The heart has to be bigger, it has four chambers!” she continued
“Yes, it sure does!” I returned, pleasantly surprised that she was throwing such knowledge at me…”and what are the names of the four chambers?” I asked, completely expecting my obviously bright child to hit me with her education of ventricles and atria (you know, right and left)…
Big smile on her face, lots of confidence, and…
“The Family, The Love, The Soul, and The Friendship.”
