When I Grow Up #4



When I Grow Up 

When I grow up my husband will be funny. 

I will have a horse. I will have two children. 
One will be a boy. One will be a girl. 
I will be rich and I will live in a castle.

...This Being Alive 
is taking the weekend off 
to think about children, 
funny husbands, horses, 
and life in a castle.


Peace be with you. xo b

  1. Once again...thanks for sharing these, Betsy. I LOVE them. They make me smile and wonder where these kids are now and horses, husbands and castles are involved.

  2. They're so charming, don't you think? I feel very satisfied after reading one of these tiny stories. And I do wonder about these students...I remember Ashley very well; petite, blonde, always giving me "teacher presents."

    Stay tuned for more...and thanks for reading and checking in.
