As I picked up Texas today I giggled to myself at the fact that his entire school seems to be covered in a magical layer of glitter. It
coats the tiles in the hallway, I noticed flecks on the wall beneath recent cotton ball and glitter polar bears and penguins with goggly eyes. He comes home each day with trace amounts on his face or hands. I have spent most of my adult life shunning the stuff. In my twenties it was everywhere – one was hard pressed to find an eye shadow or lip gloss without the stuff. Due to my irrational fear of losing my sight as a result of glitter …times were tough. But now, with kindergarten inching ever closer by the day…minute….second…I have to admit I will wholeheartedly miss the magical sheen of metallic wonder that seems to coat my world. It is happening so fast.
