First Mother's Days

Kola ran to me me after school with a wrapped package. The shape of the present looked just like the gift plate that David gave me three years ago on my first Mother's Day. I knelt down to talk to Kola, who was bubbling over about his first Mother's Day:

Mama: "Kola, what's this?"
Kola: "Mama, it's your Mother's Day present! I made it at school. You put food on it, you can cut things on it, and you can eat from it."

Mom: "Do I open it on Sunday?
Kola: "Yes!"

He leaned over and, for the first time, kissed me.
