Dad Is All Of Our Favorite Person, (Except For Our Baby!)

Coming down the stairs, still half napping.

NBSY: Mom, where's Maggie?

Mom: She's with Dad, grocery shopping.

NBSY: I want her to be here!

Mom: She'll come back soon.

NBSY: With Dad?

Mom: Yes, with Dad.

Pause.

NBSY: I miss Dad. I want him to be here!

Mom: Is Dad your favorite person in the whole world?

NBSY: (Rubbing nose)

Mom: Are you nodding yes Dad is your favorite person, or does your nose itch?

NBSY: I am both nodding yes Dad is my favorite person and itching my nose.
