a moment in the day: post

Just off the phone with my mom, lounging on the bed with Nicholas, giving him a pet, I pick up my cell lying there. Scroll a little.

Now there's a dog nose poking into my scrolling.

"Hey," I say.

I turn the phone toward him and touch where it says, create post. A virtual keyboard rises up.

"Here," I tell him. "Want to post something?"

Nicholas looks at the screen. His nose swipes across the surface.
