Sad songs

A sad-sounding instrumental song came onto Pandora in the house yesterday as I was giving the kids their lunch. Maia said to me that sometimes songs make her sad because her Great-Grandma Dede died. She was looking really sad, so when I brought her lunch, I talked to her a little and rubbed her back. She didn’t seem to be improving as I rubbed her back for about 45 seconds, thinking what a great supportive parent I was being and wondering how long I was going to have to rub her back. Then she lifted her head and looked at me like I was a little bit crazy and said, “how long are you going to rub my back!?”

She feels sad sometimes and talks about Dede, but I guess this time, she really just wanted lunch.
