What Do I Want?
For the clock to slow down a bit, would be nice.
In some ways I want the clock to fast forward a bit - and make it bedtime so I can end the day and just get off the internet and go to bed. Because: I am so tired.
In other ways I wouldn’t mind if the clock slowed down a bit because time is going by pretty quick here-quicker than I would like.
Tonight I was walking by her bedroom thinking she would be asleep but then she popped her head up and with a pretty little face that was half asleep said to me:
“Hi Dad. What do you want?”
I didn’t want anything really, other than to check on her that she was okay and asleep (she wasn’t- but she was well on her way.) I also told her I just came to see her because she’s growing up too fast for me and the “back in the day” photos we search through on my phone keep going further back every day we look at these,
Before I know it the tickle fights will be gone and she’s already caught on to my “look over there” tricks. She knows better now. I’m doomed.
So that’s what I want: for time to stop just for bit so I can take this moment and appreciate today. Tonight we made some silly images with AI and had an absolute blast doing it.
Now, go to bed. It’s a school night.
“Okay”.
