She didn’t know what she did. She didn’t know what it was that made it happen. The little baby sitting in the high chair in front of her was covered in bananas and rice cereal. (That combination takes approximately three washings to take out all the sticky.) She could see his two little teeth, white nubs poking out of pink baby gums. His mouth was open wide. His chubby belly was shaking. His blue eyes twinkled and sparkled with the joke only an eighteen-month-old would understand.
She closed her eyes and let the sound of baby laughter wash over her.
oh nick! this is perfect.
