I love this! My son used to ask me to peel tangerines for him because (to be honest) I have a knack for being able to take it off in one piece! He was so impressed by that when he was little, but continued to ask me to do well into his teenage years. Not long ago I reminded of him of that. I could hear the smile in his voice as he told me that his wife now does that for their children. Even when I peel my own, now, I still smile when it comes off in one piece thinking about how excited he used to get.
I find in my house that oranges don’t really get eaten unless I peel them and put them in a bowl on the table, then they google them up. But I get what you’re saying. For me it’s laundry. I know they can do their own but sometime I just like to surprise them with a nice clean and folded pile f clothes.
Looking back on things I found the biggest difference in doing with my son was when he obtained his driver's license. That changed the whole dynamic of the family, not in a bad way...just changed.
A very touching reflection on parenthood.
Thank you!
You’re welcome!

Not much of a poem person, but you hit this one on the head!
Thank you, that means a lot!
Love it. Independent, but she knows you need her to peel oranges for her. Smart girl.
Sure does!

That is a nice treat!
