Last night I was tucking Cole into bed. He pulled out the stethoscope as he does occasionally. He wanted to listen to my heart.
Back in December, I wrote that he said of my heart:
I think your heart sounds kind of cranky.
This time, he led off in the same way. I replied,
Yeah, yeah — you told me that before.
He said,
No. Really. It sounds kind of old. It sounds kind of dead.
It can’t get no worse.
