Only Time Will Tell

I can't say that every time I phone home (or wherever Kim and Annalee are) Annalee wants to talk to Daddy. She didn't today, for instance. Partly it's an exercise of her free will. Partly she may be overwhelmed in a given moment with other stimulation. Partly she may be expressing distress by refusing to talk to Daddy. And sometimes, too, she may simply not want to talk to me. I'm sure I'll be used to it 30 or 40 years from now.
