One day, before Khan could really sit up, he was lying on his back. I leaned over to talk to him, and he reached up and grabbed my face, pulling it down to his. Aw, I thought. He's going to give Mommy a kiss.
And then his mouth closed around my nose.
Khan has a thing about chomping on noses. A while back, he and a little girl at Story Time leaned toward each other. Khan's mouth opened into the predatory O I had come to know so well.
"Aw," The girl's mom said. "He wants to give her a kiss."
She probably thought I was a snob for sweeping him up and removing him before contact could be made. But at least it saved her daughter's nose.
