Serving a Life Sentence
Today I met the New and Improved Leta: Her Screamness Who Screams A Lot Every Day With The Screaming FOR A REASON. Up until this point she has screamed for no reason other than that there are only a certain number of functions an infant can perform, like sleeping, eating and screaming. Today, however, she screamed for a reason, that reason involving me taking away the cordless phone she had shoved nearly all the way down her gummy, semi-thoothy maw. A few moments passed after I had successfully removed the phone from her mouth, and she looked at me like, "And who the hell are you?" And then... then the Screaming For A Reason, the most piercing, excruciating noise that could be emitted without cutting a hole in the lower atmosphere. The windows vibrated.
Oh, the life that I have ahead of me.

Heather talks about overcoming depression on today's Momversation.
- Leta: "STOP FOLLOWING ME, COCO!"
I wonder where she picked up that exclamation.
- Me: "Hey Marlo, here's a vibrantly colored, squeaky toy made specifically for your age group!"
Marlo: "Got any knives?"
- @makeandtakes my pleasure! Had a great time with you guys!
