My kid.

I have the prequel to a monster migraine creeping up. Luckily, it was after dinner and bath time. So I set the timer for Nerdler’s bedtime in case I fell asleep after taking my meds.

I hear some thumping around out in the living room.

Tiny footsteps into my room. *clunk*

I turn over and she’s brought me a glass of water.

NERDLER: “You should drink water like you make me do when I’m sick so you get better. And don’t worry, when the timer goes off I’ll be good and go to bed by myself. If you need anything, just yell.”

ME: “You’re such a big help, Kid Vicious.”

NERDLER: *shrug* “I want to be a doctor when I grow up, so I have to practice when I’m a kid. *tucks me in and makes sure to turn off the light on her way out and shush the cats meowing.*

She’s the best. 😀
