Thumper


I feel like when Lyla rolls over, I should cradle her head so she doesn't thump it on the floor. But then, she might never learn to roll properly without that head-thump consequence, which could lead to a dysfunctional adulthood because, you know, rolling correctly is so important.

I also don't want her to destroy braincells unnecessarily. It's not like she cares, by the way. The thumping sound is comparable to a fruit zealot testing the ripeness of a cantaloupe. She doesn't cry, probably because it's on carpet and because when she looks up after a thump, Julie and I act super happy so she doesn't think it should hurt.

That won't turn her into a psychopath, will it?

We'll resolve, perhaps, to catch her head some of the time, keeping her accountable but not concussed.
