2 am talk

I went to check Grace's blood sugar at 2 am last night and this is our conversation -

Click click click. The darn clicker clicks, but it won't draw blood.
I cannot see as I don't have my glasses on, so maybe the setting is wrong.

I click on her pinky finger, always a 2 am finger. Usually first try gets it for me.

Click click click. Nothing.
Click click click. Nothing.

Here is where I curse. Under my breath. Quietly ;0)

A tiny little thumb appears from under the covers.
A tiny little smile creeps across her face while her eyes are closed.

"Mom, here's my thumb. It's a tremendous bleeder."
