A friend of yours
looks pitying at you as you rock your baby in your arms. “Aren’t you bored, all
you do is hold him?” Shaking your head you smile without answering.
Later at home
Johnny lays on his back, waiting, eyes focused on where you
were only a moment ago.
Grabbing a beanie hat you place it on your head and tip it
down to hide your eyes; then suddenly you whip it off your head. “Here I am!”
A
look of astonishment crosses his face; then he bursts into peals of laughter, and
kicks his legs excitedly in the air.
Tossing the beanie you grab a big, green plastic bowl and
pop it over your head and mumble from beneath it. “Where am I Johnny?” Suddenly
bursting out from behind the bowl, you surprise Johnny again, and he giggles
hysterically. Laying aside the bowl, you move onto a red, tin bucket and
banging noisily you hide behind it. Soon the room is strewn with bowls, hats,
scarves, wooden spoons and you and Johnny are lying exhausted on the floor from
laughing.
The doorbell unexpectedly rings and rapidly you toss all
the toys into a basket and scoot it to the edge of the room, then answer the
door. Your friend stands waiting outside. “I thought I would come over and keep
you company so you would have something to do.”
Inviting your friend
in, you turn to Johnny and wink.
Later
as you tuck him into his crib you lean over, kiss him goodnight and whisper.“Best kept secret ever!”
