    Very cute❣️
    I remember well the 6’s reverting to the terrible 2’s at times.. but thank goodness mostly they’re terrific.

      I’m enjoying both the silly and the serious 6’s 🙂

Your naanis are so delightful and enjoyable, especially because they are so relevant and relatable!

  I’m going to do one more (today, probably) and then move on to another 7 poems of a different form, I think! 😀
  
  Thanks, Garima!

Funny how the same “problems” exist for all little girls, or most of them anyway 😀 my daughter still objects to having her “short” hair pulled back!
