Me: Hey, little baby, are you asleep?
Baby: I'm a little tired, what's up?
Me: I've got a confession to make...I don't have any idea what I'm doing.
Baby: Yeah, I pretty much figured that out at my first diaper change.
Me: I'm sorry. I've never done any of this before. I'm pretty scared.
Baby: Well, to be honest, I've never done anything like this before either, it's a little scary for me too.
Me: Yeah, but what if I mess you up? What if I make the wrong choices? What if I scar you for life and you spend years in therapy trying to heal from the wounds I've inflicted on you in your youth?
Baby: What about me? What if I'm not grateful for all you do? What if I act like a spoiled punk the minute I hit the teenage years? What if it's not until I'm grown and have kids of my own that I fully appreciate you and Daddy and what you've helped me become?
Me: Hmm. You've got a point.
Baby: Maybe we could make a pact.
Me: A pact?
Baby: Yeah, maybe we could promise that through all the rough spots, that we'll still love each other, always.
Me: I can do that.
Baby: Well, there we go.
Me: Problem solved.
Baby: Yep. Mommy, you smell nice.
Me: So do you, baby angel.
