• he doesn’t know it isn’t fun to wipe the snow off

  It started snowing.

  the nice fluffy snow. but it is still cold. cold cold. my little brother and i got in the car and i started it up…gathering my courage to get out and wipe off all the snow on the car so i could see.

  “Please please please can i do it?” he asks with a hopeful smile.

  “i think so.” i reply, a little more disinterested than i should have been.

  and he puffs around the car, stretching his eight year old arms as far as possible to get the windshild cleared…then goes to the other side, still leaving a strip of white in the middle that little legs cannot raise up to.

  and i wish…

  i wasn’t old enough to know it isn’t fun to wipe the snow off the car.
