The Pick-up...

Dear Nicky,

So this morning for the first time in a long time, I forget to carry my cell phone with me when I go out. I come back later there's two messages on it and one on the answering machine from the school nurse saying you're sick and come and pick you up. So I do. Yeah, you got another cold all right. Maybe the adenoidectomy will help shorten the duration. We were going to take a trip to New Hampshire this weekend, but that seems unlikely now. You had some mac and cheese for lunch and some hot dog for dinner. Then a bath, three stories, and bed. Sleep well!

Love,
Dad
