Fine Print

You like to read? I like to write.

I'm a freelance writer living in Northampton, MA, with my husband and two daughters. I write all the livelong day—sometimes for money, sometimes for fun. This is the fun part.

This child, I tell you.

Stella: Mama, I wanna tell you a story.

Me: Okay, go for it.

Stella: All right. Once upon a time, a long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long….

Me: [Resisting crossing my eyes]

Stella: ….long, long, long, LONG time ago…

Me: Uh huh…

Stella: …in a land far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, FAR away…

[Pause]

Me: Yes?

Stella: Um, I forget the rest, actually.
