She had never seen anything like a big city before, so I was sort of nervous about how she was going to react to it all.
We were downtown, I remember. “Walk Like An Egyptian” was playing on the radio. We were getting out of the car and I was holding her in my arms and that was when she said her first word. It was “sky”.
I can still see her little baby-fingers reaching up as far as she could and hear her insistent little baby voice saying, “Sky! Sky!” I kept saying things like, “Look! Look at the big bus. Look at all the big buildings.”
But she just said, “Sky!” over and over again.
It was the only thing she recognized. It was her big blue security blanket.

Thanks so much, SinX. I’m just saying a little something about the human condition, the constant choices we make between the highs and lows of our natures.
