Floret

The moon takes one whole month to be full - I told her

Why? - she asks. Is the moon on a diet?

I don't adorn my ring-finger for I'm not married yet - I explain

Why? she asks. Is the ring-finger cursed? 

I can't wear this (my worn-down home-jeans) to work, darling. It's not appropriate - I respond

Why? she asks. Does it make you lazy?

They say I'm incomplete because I'm not a mother (as if I care!) - I elaborate

Why? she asks. Am I not your little girl?
