Enjoying a hot, fresh cup of herbal tea while I watch the raindrops roll down my window.

A good morning phone call ~

Harry Potter
 

A friend gave me the entire Harry Potter series (all hardback copies) by JK Rowling. *toe curling glee* I admit it: I'm a big kid at heart! This is one of those series that I always said if I were ever fortunate enough one day to be a Daddy/Stepdad/Grandpa that I'd want to share with the kids.

I actually used to love reading aloud to my former partner. She'd cuddle into me, and I'd read to her until her breathing changed (sleeping). I'd kiss her goodnight, and the next night, we'd pick up where she could remember, sometimes a chapter back.

I also loved reading to my nephews and nieces. My BFF growing up, she and her kids stayed with me over a month while their mom worked out some issues. Her kids wanted to hear the Southern Vampire novels by Charlaine Harris that the show TRUEBLOOD is based on, some content which is not appropriate for kids. The youngest one, her nine-year old daughter, loved "Sookie", and her older boys loved the vampires and werewolves.

Story time consisted of my reading, getting to the more mature content, pausing, and saying things to the effect of: "and then they went off to do some adult stuff" which was often met with chuckles, and later, a short conversation with the little girl:

Sonya: "Uncle Nicholas, it's okay. I know all about sex."
Me: "Well. Yeah. You're a smart girl. But how about we not break my brain and just let me pretend that you don't and that you're going to be pure and innocent and remain a virgin until you're at least 30, ok?"

This earned me a laugh, an eye roll, and a head shake.

...But I still refused to read them the adult content. :)

I have such a grin on my face from calling to wake up a certain femme who needs hours more sleep but does not have that pleasure this morning. My smile grows bigger with each words she speaks. I love the sound of her voice, tired, sweet, childish, tired, warm, accent and very tired.

Morning conversation at the farmers market, strong fairtrade coffee and my middle eastern lunch - which I am about to eat.
