Babysitting
“Duck!”
Brie looked up expectantly from her crib, as if she’d asked a question that I should know the answer to. She was only 8 months old. Her mother didn’t mention she was talking yet. Was this her first word?
Her parents will be so upset they missed it.
“Duck?” I repeated back. “What duck?”
“Duck!”
“I don’t know…”
“Duck!” She insisted.
I scanned the nursery and saw a stuffed duck on the shelf. That must be it. I went to get her stuffed duck, and she tossed her plastic rattle at my head.
I should have listened to her.
