Those of you who work with me know that on Friday afternoons, you're likely to hear me singing something from RENT, Les Miz, Hedwig (you can primarily thank my sister for introducing me to them). My co-worker "Martha" also witnessed me fulfill a DREAM COME TRUE at the Creating Change conference in Feb.(?) when I karaoke sang Fiona Apple's "Criminal" on stage in front of an awesome LGBT crowd. Anyway, continuing the "demonic hands/arms" theme from yesterday, I spent the better part of 90 minutes in the middle of the night serenading an attentive, alert and non-crying Zin to Shawn Colvin's "I Don't Know Why" to try to prevent the evil spirits possessing his limbs from scratching his eyes out. Daddy kept them at bay for the time being. The battle will continue I'm sure in these moments I'll cherish forever.

Like most parents, we look at our son, and think he is angelic. His hands and arms? Well, I'm pretty sure for at least twenty-two and a half hours of the day, they are demonic. He seems to have no control over the frequency and power with which they smack him in his own cherubic face (usually when he's trying to sleep). And while being molded in the Inferno, they apparently were trained in Brazilian jiujitsu to evade and escape from all non-velcro swaddling techniques. Velcro: God's true weapon of choice against the eternal battle against evil.

  Dom: Is there any biological reason why this happens?

My science PhD wife: Yeah, his nervous system isn't really developed. He doesn't know he has arms! They're just these things that flail around in front of him that sometimes get in his mouth.
