On the eve of her daughter’s high school graduation, a friend with two teenage daughters confessed that she wished she’d written down more stories from her kids’ early childhood years.

“If there’s one piece of advice I have for you guys,” she said to a room full of mothers with young children. “It’s that you should write down the funny, adorable stories before they fade from your mind. That’s the one thing I wish I’d done when my girls were little.”

As a writer and natural keeper of warm, fuzzy and sometimes prickly memories, I decided to take this advice to heart. Introducing Truth Bombs with Henry – nuggets of sage and succinct wisdom articulated by my smart ass kid.
