Letters to Hootoo - Sweet Dreams

You have been an amazing sleeper since the day you arrived home from the hospital. I am LUCKY, and so are you — you have inherited one of my superpowers, the ability to sleep at any time or place. You sleep through the night. You crash in the BOBA. You nap in the car. Sleep is a non-issue.

Until Maggie speaks.

When Maggie speaks, the dreams end, the eyes pop open and you start to crane around looking for her furry little body and listen for the next little chirp. It doesn’t matter if you’re in a light sleep or in a deep, dark slumber; the show is over.

This, of course, is what we call PAYBACK. Runt kitten? Mama brought it home to Amma and Afi, and you know him now as Feta. Cute bully breed needs a home? You know that naughty pup as Toastie Toast. Superpower number two: a love for animals. Already. Maggie brings you such joy. Your smile grows so wide when you see her and you could stare at her forever. Dad is doomed, but the impending farm is fine with me.
