I Was a Good Mom Before....

...I had an extrovert.

"I want to watch sports," she says to me a few days ago. "I want to watch basketball."

I found basketball on a sports station. It was not quite the kind she was thinking of, and it was hard to determine what she really envisioned.

It was another moment in many moments when I both admired and felt confounded by her, and vaguely, around the edges of my raw introvert nerves, wondered how we could have so recently shared a blood supply.
