When I turned five my mom sang to me "I'm Five" past times Barbara Streisand over in addition to over (in her best Brooklyn) in addition to it was the best. When she sang it I felt actually exceptional similar somebody had lastly penned in addition to composed a vocal almost how amazing it felt to plough all v fingers.
So tonight, on the eventide earlier her birthday, I sang "I'm Five" to Ever in addition to hence because technology is a gift my children become to have, nosotros looked it upward on youtube in addition to I played the video to her.
And then, I don't know, merely a huge moving ridge of dearest came over me. Because for a moment, y'all know, I was my mom in addition to she was me. It was similar fourth dimension move in addition to body-swapping happened on the couch inward our living room piece youtube played us dorsum to "why does this own got no color?" time.
I looked at my daughter's confront in addition to for the commencement fourth dimension inward our human relationship I remembered beingness inward her location inward time. I remembered just what it felt similar to live five. We've never shared that before.
But at the same time, I felt similar I all of a precipitous understood my ain mom's dearest in addition to charity for me. I could experience her promise for my v twelvemonth quondam self every bit I looked at my ain daughter. And interestingly, my grandmother gave nascency to my woman bring upward at the same historic menstruation my mom had me which is also the same historic menstruation I had Ever. This is meta.
I idea my mom was the coolest human on globe when I was five. I idea it was hence fancy she could sing Barbara Streisand. Fancy AND funny.
I promise Ever thinks I am fancy AND funny in addition to cool for knowing how to detect Barbara Streisand on youtube.
But fifty-fifty if she doesn't, I own got to country for the record: Ever is phenomenal. She's smart in addition to placidity in addition to solar daytime dreamy in addition to introverted (sometimes when friends come upward over to play she gets almost an hr into it in addition to asks if she tin accept a nap) in addition to elegant.
And when I make dorsum into my retentiveness to when I was five, I gauge I sorta meet myself every bit all those things too.
Maybe non elegant.
Not similar Barbara anyway.
Happy birthday to my great, lovely friend Ever Jane!
