A Moment

Today as I was lying on the floor trying to fit in some exercise, Elly came up to me and wanted to climb onto my stomach. She was a triple threat--snotty nose, dirty diaper, and slobber running out of her mouth--and though my brain wanted to be repulsed and not allow her to sit on my stomach as I did my crunches, my heart loved her more than ever. So she threw one leg over and hopped on, laughing as my exhaling blew her hair out of her face. And then one string of drool bungeed down from her mouth and dipped into mine. Moment over.

That happened to my bro Joe when Jack was a baby!!! He was doing "the Airplane" and Jack spit up all of the time anyway, so he should have known better. And it all came up into Joe's mouth. It was awesome!
