Out of the mouths of babes

I was in California last week visiting my parents. Fortunately, four of my siblings were also visiting so I got a good dose of family. I enjoy watching the kids play. I don’t say a lot because it is still hard to talk much. I am cognizant that I risk being the freakish uncle that walks slowly and talks softly, but what can I do? I try to put the kids at ease, and I even had a brief chat about my health with two nieces that were curious why I talk the way I do.

After several days, my 4-year-old niece took a break from her game of croquet, approached me, and said, “Uncle David. I think…you…are nice.”
