This is a little-bit-techie post...

I sometimes find myself in a ...

A prequel episode:
Visit to the Doctor!
As with all newborns, Caitlin's first few visits to Dr Pixie's weren't exactly pleasant for her. But the one visit that really stood out in my memory, was the time when her cold / nasal congestion was so bad that she needed suction performed up ...

You know, Caitlin, that the day you were due to be born, Mummee & Daddee still attended Aunty Ivy's wedding dinner? Everyone was amazed that Mummee & Daddee actually turned up at the banquet hall despite telling everyone that we may have to give it a miss! Do you remember ...

One of the essential items parents of newborns need is a baby monitor.
We got ours from Toys 'R Us, at RM179. It wasn't the cheapest nor the dearest, but we thought it would serve our needs.

It is still clear in my head, the visual "playback" of my schoolmate's reaction to my statement, & my reaction to his reaction; from so many years ago during a class break.
We were talking about what we do at home after school, during free time, etc. Don't forget this is ...
