On communication, professional and otherwise.

Sore Throat, Sturdy Kid

03.12.2012 by David Murray // 1 Comment

Monday morning, and

We have sprung forward into darkness.

Mom has left for work, but

Scout and I lie on the couch,

Under the blanket.

"My throat is sore," she says.

"You'll be fine," I say.

"That's a weird thing to say," she says.

And we laugh.

    If you can laugh, it can’t be too bad.
    He liveth best who loveth best
    All things both great and small.
    The streptococcus is the test.
    I love him least of all.
