As sometimes happens, about 15 minutes after I've put the kids to bed I hear Olin's small, musical voice start calling "Daddy... (pause) Daddy... (pause) Daddy..." So I amble over to their room, and open the door.
Me: Yes?
Olin: (Softly) I need a little bit of water cause I'm about to spit on myself.
Me: OK.
I go get a little bit of water. Olin sits up and drinks. I walk out.
Olin: (Full throttle) DADDYDADDYDaddyHowBoutAKiss????
Despite the very loud request, on my return to the room Max is still snoring, Olin is perched on the edge of his bed, arms out, lips puckered. I kiss the lovebird and lay his head back on the pillow.
Olin: (softly) Thank you Daddy. Goodnight.
