...parenting tip of the moment
One by one, you watch your mental faculties slip away. The first to go is language. Sometime during those forty-five minutes between feedings when you actually are asleep, a little man comes and takes your nouns away.
"Honey, when you go to the uh..."
"To the what?"
"To the...whad'ya call it...the place? With the things...they have things that you can buy..."
"The store?"
"Yes, thank you. To the store...Make sure we pick up some...some, uh..."
"What?"
"Little...um..."
"What do you want?"
"You know. They're small, you stick them in the ears..."
"Earrings?"
"No. Fuzzy things."
"Q-Tips?"
"Yes, exactly. Q-Tips."
