Children.
Rendezvous.
Childrendezvous.
I met a new person today.
A baby.*
I don't feel as though she really met me, though.
Her mother did all the talking for her: "This is the baby."
I tried to directly engage: "Hi, baby. I'm an adult."
She seemed bored or asleep.
Like she wasn't even interested in what I had to say.
Nice attitude, baby.
Newborn.
Ornery.
Newbornery.
Maybe I should have tried to highlight what we had in common, rather than our differences.
Like, I used to be a baby also.
Begin.
Infant.
Beginfant.
Oh well, I'll know better for the next baby.
* Not completely new, but with only three weeks of wear and tear so far.
Natal.
Tally.

She'll get to know you in the wear and tear to come, I think.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure she will.
ReplyDeleteTell her I'll be back soon, and I'll expect her eyes to be open this time.
