The wife was sitting on the couch just now, so I thought it would be a good time to go have a little chat with our unborn child. I had been reading to it now and then. It is said that a story that the baby hears over and over before it's born will have a calming effect on the baby once it comes out.

But I've been slacking a little in my reading. So I offered to read the baby a story tonight. I offered again, asking it to move if it wanted a story.

It kicked me in the nose! The baby clearly wants a story tonight. And a story it shall get!
