I’m not as tall as I need to be sometimes.
Like when a dog and his Human walk down the sidewalk behind our house. I need to see if he be a friend or foe, but the fence is taller than I can jump. Even me, the king of jumping.
So I’ve started using the backyard to get a running leap. Usually that first leap I can peek my nose up over the fence. The second time it’s a little harder, and the third and subsequent times I’m not even close.
Mama’s a little concerned that I might knock over the mango before it’s quite ripe enough to come off of the tree, so I’ve started being a little more cautious…until I forget that it’s there in my excitement to meet a new friend.
