No, y'all know good and well I don't swing like that. But I got to hang out with my little stepniece last night for the first time in months. I haven't seen her since last summer because she lives so far away. My stepbro, his girlfriend, and my stepniece are up here for a couple of weeks. My stepniece is eight and cute as a button. I was invited to my stepmom's place to have dinner and spend the night. My stepniece and I got some serious face time in. We jumped on the trampoline, played with her dog, and we watched some Disney while she told me all about the boys she liked at school (lucky her). I had so much fun. I felt normal being around a little kid again. Like the old me, back before everything went crazy. I've had a complex since I got out. I feel totally awkward around children- like everybody's watching me and waiting for me to follow their kids to the bathroom. I don't feel like that around my niece. I look forward to today. |
