My brain seized up today in mid-conversation with Chip. All of the sudden, without warning… nothing. The thought simply vanished. I never did think of what I was going to say.

As he watched me struggle, a look of recognition crossed his face. Chip later told me he was recalling all the stories our friends had shared about their experiences with mind-loss during pregnancy and realized it had finally happened to us.

Mustering up a mock-sad expression, he stuck out his hand and said, “It’s been nice knowing you.”

Glad one of us finds my own personal Flowers for Algernon so amusing.
