Seeing Through a Seven-Year-Old's Eyes

Most of the baseball fields where Cole plays are of the same wagon wheel design—four fields surrounding the concession area hub. As I was coming in, Bella and her mom were walking toward the concession area. Dena asked, “Did you see a restroom on the side where you came in?” I told her that I saw a sign, but that I didn’t know whether it was for men or women. I meant that I didn’t really pay attention to the sign other than to notice it was there.

Bella said, “Mimi, the women on the signs have on clothes, and the men are naked.”

She’s right.
