Maybe I should just stop answering calls from home when I’m at work. Last week<\/a>, it meant I had to bail from work to tend to a sick baby. Today, it was to tend to a broken heart.<\/p>\n

Beloved<\/strong>: Sorry to bug you, but do you have a few minutes to talk to Tristan?<\/p>\n

Me<\/strong>: Sure. What’s up? (I secretly love getting calls from the kids at work. I love the fact that I have to talk extra loud and that there is no mistaking the conversation for a business call and half the floor gets to hear me talking to my adorably preccocious preschoolers.)<\/p>\n

Beloved<\/strong>: I actually had to wake him up to get ready to go to daycare today, and now he’s upset that he didn’t get a chance to kiss you goodbye.<\/p>\n

Me<\/strong> (heart shrinking into pea-sized lump of coal): Sure, put him on.<\/span><\/p>\n

Beloved<\/strong>, in background as phone is handed off: Okay, here she is. No more crying, okay? <\/em>
<\/em>
Tristan<\/strong>: (sniffle)<\/em>
<\/em>
Me<\/strong>: (with false brightness) Hi baby! Did you have a good sleep?<\/em>
<\/em>
Tristan<\/strong>: (snuffle) Mommy, I’m sad! I didn’t get to give you a hug and a kiss before you went to work!<\/em>
<\/em>
(SNAP! Sound of my heart breaking in two.)<\/em>
<\/em>
Me<\/strong>: It’s okay, Tristan. I’ll give you an extra big hug and kiss when I get home, okay? And anyway, I gave you a nice smoochy kiss when you were sleeping before I left. Don’t cry, sweetie. We’ll have extra kisses as soon as I see you tonight.<\/em>
<\/em>
Tristan<\/strong> (reluctantly mollified): Okay, mommy.<\/em>
<\/em>
Me<\/strong>: (hangs up phone. Dissolves into puddle of unhappy guilt)<\/em><\/p>\n
