Extra Skin

Emma showed me her newest trick this morning - running full throttle across the living room floor and then sliding on her knees...a Danny Zuko move right out of Grease. When I warned her she was going to get rug burns, she said she was safe because she had "extra skin."

I could use some of that extra skin, because mine has felt pretty thin lately. I've been going through the paces, keeping busy...but teeny, self-perceived slights have really been getting me down this week. Mostly, I'm just feeling a little misunderstood and a lot lonely. It's no biggie - I just go through these phases sometimes. But I think I'll ask Em to share some of that extra skin until mine's feeling thicker again.
