narrator : Hank Betz

It used to be that I narrated his days.

These are eggs. They are fragile. That yellow part is the yolk. It is bursting!
Careful, the stove is hot.

Let's put shoes on, right foot, left.
Those are flowers. Take a whiff! They touched your nose!

See the spider web? Oh, you found a puddle. You're going to need a bath.

Through the door.
The water is warm. That is a circle. This is a zipper.

Time for a rest.
Please don't touch the trash. Let's read a book. Would you like milk?

That is a zebra, that is a skyscraper, that is a bulldozer, there is the moon.

Now, Hank talks. Incessantly. Non-stop narration.

His words are gentle and fascinating. He says, without saying, take my hand, let me tell you about the universe. Also let me tell you about this toy and that small scrap of string and do you hear that noise and what is your favorite color, but white is not in the rainbow. And may I please have another snack and I need to pee and where are we going today, I like to go to the pool, I can do a giant cannonball and I can wear the goggles Lucy gave me and we can take cherries for a snack and did you buy more cherries at the grocery because we ate them all yesterday and I want to make a fruit hat, I do not want to take a rest.

These are my nerves. They are fragile.
This is my heart. It is bursting.
