Or this...
Monday instead seemed more subdued, more of the same long hospital wait, many miles driven, and far too many television shows to be beneficial to brain development. But Amelia looks like this now...
Do you see that moment of joy upon her face? I hope to spend more time with that mug as maintenance progresses and she feels less like a voodoo doll. There is also, I hope, a direct correlation between the volume of happiness she holds between her ears, and the pellets of selflessness, decorum, and kindness she dispenses to the rest of civilization. Those sweet little PEZ wafers of human behavior will revive this whole family. Be gone, Hyde! Wipe that goblinesque sneer off of your face and buck that abusive chimp from your back! They are no longer welcome nor appreciated, for now we live in the house of feeling and being good.
I'll even do algebra to make it happen - that's how serious I am.
Welcome back, Happy Amelia. Won't you stick around awhile?
