Early Letters

The baby memory book you fill by talking.

Meera is asleep.

The house has gone quiet. You are still turning the day over.

A minute is plenty.

Open Early Letters and tell Meera one thing about today. Then put the phone down.

To Meera

Listening.

Say it however it comes.

Maria, um, today you found the light switch. On, off, on, off. Fourteen times, I counted. Mama pretended not to notice and then laughed so hard she had to sit down. You looked at us, you looked at us like we were the strange ones. Maybe we are. Anyway. You are asleep now, and the house sounds different. Goodnight, little one.

Talk to Meera the way you do.

A half-finished sentence is fine. So is laughing in the middle of one.

3 small fixes. We only fixed what got in the way of your words. Nothing added.

It stays in your words.

Ums and repeats come out. Nothing is added, and every fix can be put back.

Your voice comes with it.

Each spoken letter keeps its original recording, unchanged, tired end-of-day voice and all.
