“Who Fell Asleep Here?”

Our little one was curled up tightly on Anand’s chest, fast asleep. He was pacing slowly, trying to keep her asleep.

Anand whispered, “Deepu, she’s asleep. What should we do now? Did she drink enough milk? Should we wake her up to feed?”

I was just about to answer when —

She stirred, opened her eyes slightly, and gave us a look like “Who fell asleep here?”

We burst out laughing.

And just like that, she drifted back to sleep.
