I can't mojo CP. I've given her too much mojo already.
Jen, that playground piece is amazing. You've posted three stories in a row now that are, to my mind, nearly flawless and complete. You have such a good memory, and such a way of speaking about American childhood that most American children could relate to, I think. Your observation about these kids, how your nostalgia ties to the present, are all so wonderful. There were so many lines I wanted to quote back at you for their brilliance. The descriptions of the kids created entire characters in just a few lines. I knew those kids. I could see their home lives and siblings, the things you didn't mention were still all there, created by you.
"We are all subjected to childhood." Indeed.
I don't think writing should be just a hobby for you, lady.
