A couple of months ago, I made a passing reference to the fact that Mleeka’s got a mole Lennie likes to twiddle. (Since I’ve written about my bulba, I hope not to get into trouble for blogging about Mleeka’s mole.) Her love for that mole is a deep and complex thing.

The cry it out doesn’t last long, they adjust pretty quick and will pick up a pattern if you stick to one. It helps to be deaf one ear, and sleep on your good ear. That way, if it wakes you up you know it’s been going on a while and they need help to unwind.
