One little boy, AFOs ill-fitting, wild child, tired mother. Up up up onto the table, surprisingly still (I love the sound of a beating heart) (and checking reflexes with my giraffe hammer), ending with a gentle giraffe tap on his nose. Then the sweet magic – face alight, eyebrows high, grinning… “You booped me!”
