Sighing Over Spilt Milk

Sighing Over Spilt Milk

The oversized
mug
with cornflower
motif
was far too big
for her
to hold safely ..
But she
wanted so much
to be
a big girl in her
mummy’s eyes
and held
on to it tightly ..
And close
to her chest in
just one
of her tiny hands ..
Which is
why I guess she
always
tends to get milk
in her
porridge and her
porridge,
in both ears
and all over her hair ..

Omg...I just realised what I wrote! (Hides head in shame). I didn't mean "that" of course I didn't. I just meant like ... well ... little kids are always saying, I wanna do it  let me do it mummy."  (oh god, the hole im digging is just getting deeper). But you know what ...I'm going to leave it in ... it might just make someone else spit their tea out too hahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 x
