[LOUD, COMMANDING VOICE.]
"Child!
Open your
EYES!"
(Squint.)
(Frown.)
(Squint.)
(Squirm.)
"It's all..... BLURRY!"
[NOD.]
(Squint.)
(Sucking on thumb.)
"How come it's
all......BLURRY,
DADDY?"
[SMILE.]
"That is how
I made you."
[PAUSE.]
"Listen
to Me,
child."
(Sucking on thumb,
irritably.)
(Squinting.)
"WHAT?"
[WHISPER.]
"When I say
so......you are
going to fall
in love,
child."
(Yell.)
"What's.....'SAT?"
[INFINITELY PATIENT VOICE.]
"Listen to Me."
(Squinting.)
(Nodding.)
(Sucking.)
(Squirming.)
[SMILE.]
"It will be
about....
four years,
from now."
(Squinting,
really hard.)
"What's a'..... YEAR?"
[WHISPER.]
"You will
see something,
and...
will hear something."
(Irritable yell.)
"But......everything's
all BLURRY,
DADDY!"
"Nonetheless."
[SMILE.]
"It is
My Command."
(Anxious squint.)
(Sucking on thumb,
really hard.)
"What do I gotta
....DO?"
[CHUCKLE.]
"Nothing.
It will just
happen, child."
(Big brown eyes
squinting, and
blinking, anxiously.)
"Uh, oh."
[NOD.]
"You will
see something:
small,
and
very soft-looking...
with a long tail."
"But I can't SEE,
DADDY!"
"It doesn't matter,
child. You are going
to fall in love.....
the moment you
hear its squeak."
"A.....SQUEAK?"
[NOD.]
"Then......a meow."
"What's a M'OW?"
[DELIGHTFUL NOD.]
"It will be soft
to touch, and
have small pointed
EARS."
"What's a' EAR?"
[WHISPER.]
"It will
have long
whiskers, also."
"What's'a'WISSER?"
[DELIGHTED LAUGH.]
"You will hear
its cry,
and you will
fall in love!"
"Then.....WHAT,
DADDY?"
"That is it."
[SMILE.]
"The love will
never cease:
no matter how old
you are. Never."
"Whatsa'.... NEVER?"
"Just listen
to Me."
[SAD VOICE.]
"You will FORGET...
ever calling Me,
Daddy."
(Stop squinting
for one moment.)
(Anxiously squirm.)
"No.....NO, DADDY!"
[NOD.]
"You will forget
this moment,
child. One day,
you will even hate
Me."
(Eyes all filled up
with tears.)
(Sucking on thumb,
nervously.)
"NO!
NO,
DADDY!"
"It will be a long
time.........and
then,
even calling
Me, 'FATHER',
will make you cringe."
(Squinting,
rather nervously.)
"What's a' KINGE?"
[QUIET VOICE.]
"And,
forget.....
that,
even the
thumb
you were
sucking on,
was
Mine."
****************
I will
praise
Thee;
for
I am
fearfully
and
wonderfully
made.
[Psalms 139:14]
