My writing prompt for today is this kid's thoughts when he's all grown up...

When I was a baby, a scary little man lifted me up and made a silly face at me so I yelled and everybody laughed so I think it was meant to be funny.

The even funnier thing is my mom and pop told me the scary man was the President of the United States of America. As if! Presidents are big, strong, clever men that everyone can trust. Not men who make babies cry just with their faces.

Anyway, I'm just glad he didn't try to kiss me like politicians do.

My therapist says I could work this through if I write to the man and ask him what he thought he was doing at the time. My mom and pop said they doubt he had any idea what day it was let alone what he was doing.

I think Pressie's face says it all - help I'm out of my depth. (A baby is a great leveller!)
