Jessica:    ”we also need to get those child safety belts for the new TV- to secure it”
Me:            ”yeah, but we have plenty of time before we need that.”
Jessica:    ”what are you talking about?”
Me:            ”the baby isn’t due until June 1st”
Jessica:    ”Sean, we have a kid. Right now”

I totally forgot we have a one year old .

(In my defense: we were talking about the new baby for the previous fifty minutes, and it was hard to exit from that mindset).

 
Jessica’s response (later that night): “I mean, come on- how can you forget some thing this cute”:

Background Info: it looks like we are dressing our kid as a laughably-fat karate instructor in this photo, but, in truth, it is Colin’s doing. He saw me waking up, wearing a headband (because I have to wear a sleep apnea mask to bed… …which is a whole different, long story). So, later that night when he was told he would have to go to bed soon- he ran into our room and put on a headband. I suppose he thought: all men wear headbands to bed.

I told him the truth: that only myself, Wilt Chamberlain, Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones and most pirates, wear headbands to bed. The rest of people (who I may have called “frightened lemmings”), “go to bed with no headband, Colin”.
