flying glasses

recently we were graciously given
this magnifying glass
from sophie and grace.

and by 'graciously given,' i mean, of course,
they cheerfully and lovingly
handed it over to joshua
as it became clear
he wasn't going to leave their house without it.

most mornings now, after the requisite
Stroessler Man Wake Up to Functioning Level period,
i get a casual,
"hey, mama! where my flying glasses go??"

right here, buddy. they're right here.
