He jumps on his chair, raises his arms, looks down at us, and hollers “I am taller than all of you!”

Staying at the in-laws,
Digging into the closet,
She finds momma’s old shoes.

Shiny taupe flats with half inch heels,
Clomp, clomp, clomp!
Marching on the tile.

Her feet are still small,
But the ankles fill the throats;
Last year’s gap is gone.
