Asking the Important Question
Eventually, I turned to our daughter, curiosity getting the best of me. “Did you put your doll on the kitchen table, sweetheart?”
I asked casually, trying to sound indifferent. She shook her head, eyes wide and innocent. “No, Mommy. I haven’t played with it since yesterday,”
she replied firmly. Her response left me puzzled and a bit more concerned. It seemed the mystery of the doll’s journey was just beginning, leaving me with more questions than answers.
