Very entertaining column from Kevin Cowherd in the Baltimore Sun about his efforts to get through a novel while being stared down by a baby.
A snippet: “I don’t know if you’ve ever tried to read with a baby staring at you. But it’s really hard. So now I try holding the book in front of my face, thinking the baby might get bored with the cover of a Norman Mailer book and look at something else.
But babies never get bored. Every little thing is fascinating to them, probably because they haven’t been around that long. Sure enough, every time I look up, the baby is still staring. I must have read the same paragraph a half-dozen times, because every time I look at him, I lose my place.”
