I'm thankful for the kind of heedless joy and total exhaustion that comes from being used as a piece of playground equipment by several wild little hooligan girlchildren all day. Oh my gosh. We all want to be carried? At once? And you know how to climb a tall girl like a tree? And what's this next game called? Endless running?

So fun, though. I grew up with boys, and when I ever have kids, I would adore any, but man, do I have a soft spot for tomboy girls who like to play outside.
