(Parker, three months ago, with apologies for the tilt.)
I came home from the grocery store to find my husband on the phone.
“Who are you talking to?” I said softly after a moment.
“Parker!” and he asked him if he wanted to talk to me.
With speech much clearer and surer than it was even in October when we saw him–the difference between 22 months old and 25–Parker said in delight, “Hi Gramma!”
“Hi Parker! I love you!”
There was a moment’s pause, and then *click*
I looked at the phone, going, wait, did he just…?
Yup.
After all, what more can anyone possibly add to that?
