instruction manual

that little package that the stork brought should have come with an instruction manual. there is always a little pamphlet detailing its contents, use and care for all things. why not for this little boy?

mine should have been stamped with 'likely to develop nasal rhinitis (that's fancy medical speak for nose allergy) and lactose-intolerance' right across his forehead. i will even settle for a subtle birthmark bearing the same warning across his derriere.

instead, i had to go about diagnosing it like a treasure hunt game, looking for clues and picking up little signs along the way. when the puzzle is all pieced together, it makes me feel like a complete and total failure for not catching on earlier.

sigh!

for that matter, motherhood should have come with an instruction manual.
