“Was I as cute as Jude when you got me?”
“Oh, yes. A hundred times yes.”
“Was I this old?”
“You were five months. So… a touch older.”
“Was I this big?”
“No, you were smaller. You fit perfectly in my arms.”
“Did I like baths?”
“You loved them.”
“And food?”
“You loved food! I remember feeding you avocado for the first time. You laughed and tried to grab the spoon.”
“I was your first brown-eyed baby, wasn’t I?”
“Silly boy. You are my only brown-eyed baby! You know that.”
“But you always wanted one. So God sent me.”
“He did.”
“But I had to come out of someone else’s belly, because God wanted me to be Latino.”
“That’s right.”
“Some day, Jude will be as big as me.”
“Yep.”
“But I will always be his big brother.”
“Always.”
Pure sweetness!
