Pretend I'm Not at Home
Published Apr 18, 2003
My husband is wonderful with our baby daughter, but often he turns to me for advice. Recently, I was in the shower when he poked his head in to ask, "What should I feed Lily for lunch?"
"That's up to you," I replied. "There's all kinds of food in the house. Why don't you pretend I'm not at home?"
A few minutes later, my cell phone rang. I jumped out of the shower and ran to the bedroom to answer it. It was my husband asking, "Yeah, hi, Honey. Uh..what should I feed Lily for lunch?"
