Is this what it’s all about?

I had a moment to think that tonight.  Lily was still in the tub and she asked me to go get her “Saturday underwear” and her long pink pajamas.  I’m picking through her underwear drawer looking for the pair printed with Saturday and I’m thinking to myself, “what has happened to me?” 

I found the underwear and went back into the bathroom where Lily was still sitting in the tub.  I showed her the pajamas I had picked out.  “No, not those.  The pink one that’s long”.  Ok.  Back to the drawer for another nightgown.  “No.  The pink one that’s long and drags on the ground.”

That was about when I thought, for just a second, “Is this what I’ve been reduced to?”
