Important Milestone
Hey, I forgot to mention what today is! Do you know? Sure you do.
Sadie is one month old today!
Something you’ll find out kid is that this is the last time a single month matters, unless someday you are an extremely high maintenance girlfriend to some poor guy who can’t remember that this is the one month anniversary of the day you met, or the day you first went out, or the day he kneeled and kissed your ring, or whatever.
Since we will have raised you, that is unlikely, unless you get abducted and behaviorally modified by aliens or Democrats or something.
It is, however, an important milestone for you and others who reach the age of a month intact. It means you have motivated no serious acts of defenestration on your person by your parental units. Go you! And that means you probably are out of danger.
We may coo that you are two months, three months, etc. later, but the next one that matters is six months. The others are only because we can’t say “oh, she’s one” to express your age. As people go, you’re still fractal. Perhaps that’s why you sow chaos.
Chaos. Isn’t that what they’re calling that stuff these days? Certainly gets around the censors.
Anyway, happy monthaversary or whatever squirt. Can’t really call it an anniversary, can we? Cuz the root of that word is foreign for year, and it won’t be a year for an objective eleven more months, and a subjective shorter or longer, depending how teething and stuff goes, and what we choose to remember, and who gets elected.
