"Mommy!" comes the cry, an hour and a half after bedtime. This, I think to myself, is what I get for the nap she took when we got home from the pool today. So, I go running upstairs to find Emma awake, sitting up in bed. "Mommy, could you stay for just one more little tiny song?", so I agree, even though her night-night music is Jewel's Christmas CD and it is June. During the song I find out a bit of trivia you reader may not yet have heard. About a little tiny vacuum, in your mouth.

Yes, this vacuum is in your mouth. It's how kisses work. It blows them out when you want to give out kisses, and it sucks them in when you want to take a kiss. That's how you eat ice cream too, just like sucking in a kiss.

Thought you ought to know.
