Alligator
Lex dreams. He wakes up and tells me, “Momma, alligator bite the arm!”
I want him to know that I will never allow an alligator to hurt my boy. “Oh no baby, momma tells that alligator ‘No! Alligator you must never bite people! Take a bite of tofu!”
He thinks this is hysterical. “Alligator! No! Take a bite of tofu!” Giggling.
I tell him that no one should ever bite people. It is not nice. We will tell that alligator, “Take a bite of carrot!”
He laughs and snuggles up to me. Momma keeps him safe. I hope I am always fearless enough to banish the things that frighten him.
No alligators allowed.
