Idiot

My kids both get straight As.

They both have good friends, more than one.

They can both talk to adults with ease and confidence.

They are comfortable meeting new people.

They can say how they're feeling with surprising accuracy.

They can play together for hours at a time.

They can read.

They are creators and builders.

They are funny.

They both have learned a sport.

They have both auditioned for and taken solos in school productions.

They can both swim.

They can both drive a boat and a dinghy.

They can both sail a Laser on their own.

They both say please and thank you.


Why do I feel like such a failure?

For real.

Why?

It turns out I wanted more than that? I'm an idiot.
