Sad childhood
By sandi | July 6, 2009
“Mom, did you have cherries when you were a little girl?” ~ Kimberly
“Yes, but maybe once a year. Cherries are expensive and we couldn’t afford them often.” ~ Mommy
“How sad.” ~ Kimberly
I of course went on to tell her that it wasn’t sad. That you can only have what you can afford and that she is very lucky she can have all the food she needs. I told her that it made it more special when I did have them. She seemed to understand though I doubt she really does.
When I was a girl I never missed it or felt sad that I didn’t have it. Now as an adult I still don’t. It is sad to me that she feels like she needs to have this much. I am not sure how to remedy that situation or if I even need to. I am sure that the harsh reality will someday touch her.
