Five Word Weekly Challenge 5/15/23- A Mother’s Fortune


She squatted in order to keep their eyes level. Her four-year-old had just asked a hilarious and brilliant question.
“How come if you split a crumb in half, you get two crumbs not two half-crumbs?”
Listening to her children exploring and learning language was one fortune of many she’d been able to embrace from her decision to homeschool. She hadn’t realized how her life had been emotionally anemic and impoverished before. Her bank account was meeker, but her heart had become solvent.
Her eyes filled with pride and amusement.
“What a smart question! Let’s explore other simple things that work the same way. We’ll make a poster.”
