A New Parent Mini-Conversation

Me- "What's that on Nolan's forehead? Is that blood?!"
Corey "I dunno! Is that a bruise or something? What happened to him!?"
Me- "Oh wait...it's just chocolate. He's fine."

A New Parent Story

Order of events:

--Kate is jostled awake in the wee hours of the morning

--To her surprise, someone (me) is reaching out for her, attempting to pick her up by cupping the back of her head while at the same time supporting her back.

--"Um, what are you doing," she asks.

--I pause, confused, before replying, "Oh, you're not Nora. I apologize."

--I lie back down. We both quickly return to sleep.

Sadly, this is not a first for us.
