Scary Mime

Do you find mimes scary? I've heard a lot of folks do.

Reuben doesn't. Quite the opposite. He finds them hilarious. Particularly when they are angry.

I know this because I woke up this morning without any voice so most of my parenting was done using sign language and miming. There was one time in particular where I had to make some very dramatic gestures of protest. The situation involved a laptop left on a couch and a small baby laying within a certain two year old's throwing distance of said lap top. I thought I made my point well til Reuben responded by literally falling over laughing. At least he didn't complete his throw.

I need my voice back.
