Preparing to be amazed

Cade just came into the office whining. In order to pacify him, I hand him one of the thousands of catalogs that have been filling our mailbox this week. He smiles at me and takes the catalog in both hands. He walks purposefully into the living room and finds just the right spot to sit down with the catalog. He sits and curiously regards the cover. I'm thinking to myself, "That baby's going to open the catalog and peruse." Just as I'm preparing to be amazed, he looks at me, grins, and thrusts the corner of the catalog into his slobbery baby mouth.

I believe that in choosing the word "GO" on your front page of Logorrhea over Cade's head is some kind of premonition for the future. You had me at "amazed" until the last 5 words . . . and then I totally pictured that baby being you. Deja Vu.

He's so cute. I can just picture it.
