My daughter texted me from a party:
“Mom, do we still have ice cream at home?”
We don’t. That’s the code.
“Ice cream” means: come get me right now.
“Cookies” means: call me in five minutes with an excuse.
“Nothing” means: I’m okay.
She said ice cream.
I didn’t ask questions. I didn’t text back.
I just grabbed my keys and drove.
When she got in the car she said quietly,
“People started bringing out things I didn’t want to be around.”
We drove home in silence.
Every kid deserves a way out without having to explain themselves first.
@noyeahobviously And taking them to an island is code for they’ll be trafficked and killed without anyone knowing. America has become the everything they go to war for, disgusting
I absolutely LOVE how much fun and space she is taking up. That’s exactly what you do when you’ve worked hard and get to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Such a big inspiration 🖤🖤🖤
