Angel Kisses

Hello, my name is Kelly and I lied to my daughter.

It's true. I did. Before she could talk I told her that freckles were angel kisses. And we still talk about it often. Sometimes she gets a new one and comes to me excited about it. Today she asked if angels kiss dogs too because she found some spots on Preston's (the dogs) tummy.

I told her this because my mom told me the same thing when I was little and I have not once despised my freckles. In fact, I quite like them. And there are many of them so it's a good thing I do like them.

I could feel bad about this, but I don't. Because, really, do you know where freckles come from?
