Only a smidge

*knock knock.*

 

Nem: Who is it?

Me: Dada.

What?

Mago says he’s sorry, and if I hurt your feelings, I’m sorry too, and I want to give you a hug.

 

Long pause.

 

Nem: Hug my toes.

Me: What?

Nem: I’m putting them under the door.

Me, (unable to restrain laughter) : What?!

Nem: I’m trying to.

Me: I can’t see or reach them at all.

Still not there . . . my fingers, then. I’ll put them under the door.

 

Three of her fingers appear palm-up under the door. I reach down and press my fingers on them, laughing.
