Dear Mom,
I was warm. I was cozy. I had everything I needed without ever having to ask.
Please send me back.
Love,
Your Peanut
Dear Peanut,
A return trip is out of the question (those kicks in the ribs were killer), but I’ve found the next best thing: a Hushamok.
The organic cotton hammock simulates the rhythmic swaying you enjoyed in your previous digs.
When you’re ready, we’ll switch out the hammock for a swing. Then, someday, we’ll convert it into a seat that you’ll use throughout your toddler years.
With its sleek, modern design, it’s something we’d be happy to keep around forever.
But don’t get any ideas.
Love,
Mom
