Owen, this morning: “I wish there was a man dancing a paddywhack on my backpack. He could sing about knickknacks and throw bones at the dog.”

Ah, nursery rhymes.

Sorry, it’s easier to jot this stuff down than to tell you how we haven’t slept in three days and that I’m having a hard time choking food down and how I get panicky when I think about how the tree could have fallen differently. Yay!
