Father Daughter Talks

10:43 p.m., in our darkened bedroom. I am just about to fall asleep when Rodney enters the room, lifts the covers and starts speaking to my belly.

Rodney: Helllooo! Sprout! Sprout!

No answer.

Rodney: Helloo, Niobi! (a name I had rejected about 20 minutes earlier)

No answer.

Me (sleepily): Um, I'm trying to sleep here.

Rodney: Do you mind? I'm having a conversation with my daughter.
