Poke


Lyla got her round two flu shot yesterday and did not make a sound. I can only conclude that her legs are so fat that the nerve endings stop before the dermal layer. Either that, or the binky dipped in sugar water worked its magic again. Or maybe the event is meant to foreshadow Lyla dropping out of school and becoming the human pincushion in a traveling circus.

Today we got to look at proofs of Lyla's school photos. They are all hilariously terrible. The group shot has babies looking apathetically in all different directions, except for one who is so upset that he might benefit from an exorcism. Lyla's individual shots feature a lump of a girl slouching on a gray backdrop, not smiling. It looks like a baby prison ID card. Her expression says, "Give me respect or you will get shanked."

Unlike this expression, which says, "Poke me with a needle. I like it!"
