RE: Lois: A Story Written for the Ink Well Fiction Writing Challenge #2 - Bad Habits

Ooh, that line leaped out at me, too: she was now teaching the children of her peers, and she was now a peer of those who had taught her. The passage of time. Ouch. This hit me when the children I used to babysit were now seeking babysitters for their own children. Why are we surprised to see children growing up? If we could see cousin Bobby remain age five forever, we'd be saying what's wrong with this kid, that he isn't astonishing us by having done the usual thing kids do, grow up....

How cool that Raj's prompt brought to life a character who's been in your mental repertoire, awaiting the right time to come forth, @agmoore!
