#236: Bird
Do you remember when you first realized that other people are their own, whole, unique people, with their own thoughts, with their own lives that aren’t related to you at all? I actually do remember having that exact epiphany, and it’s crystallized in my brain as one of my earliest memories.
Momo’s coming up on around the age I had that epiphany, and when studies have shown that most kids do start to realize that they’re not the only sentient people in the universe. I was talking about it with my brother, and we realized that that moment is going to pass for her and I’m not going to realize it, because the ideas contained within it are simply too large for her vocabulary. If anything, I’m gonna get something like ‘you’re a person!’ and in the grand scale of random non-sequiturs I get from her in a day, that’s pretty mild.

There’s a few more days left on the Aspen Tyke Traveler‘s Kickstarter, which has partnered with How Baby to put a zine in every one of their bags! It’s a rather neatly designed diaper bag, so go take a look before the Kickstarter closes!
