The Moment

I picked Troy up early from daycare today as a special treat for both of us on his birthday. When we got home, I leaned into the car to touch my forehead to his. He smiled and put a part kiss part spit on my cheek. When I tried to pull away, he reached up and gently put one hand on one of my cheeks and his other hand on my other cheek. Then he pulled my face back to him until we were touching noses. We stayed like that for several seconds, and then he slapped me in the face. I guess our sweet moment was over.
