Talking IT Baby

Date: 10/24/2022

Someone hands me my baby, all bundled like a newborn. I'm sitting in a rocking chair but I can't make him stop wailing so I walk with him and he stops right away. Haven't seen him for awhile. Been busy. So small, his head is the size of an apple. He opens his eyes and in a deep voice, real casual like, he says, "Hi." I didn't know he could talk! I said, "Hi." and then, "Hey, if you can talk, tell me why you were crying like that?" He smiles at me like that's a stupid question and says, "I don't know." Then he asks me to arrange a meeting with IL from IT, "You know," he says, "the big guy!" "I know IL," I reply, smiling. I want to add, "Everybody's big to you," But I don't. I say, "But while you're waiting, you must consider what kind of life you want. Like am I a Masters Computer guy, or a diploma guy who plays games?" We're walking through the Lab where other Techs hear my words and nod in agreement.
