Tolga & Tummy Rumblings

When Tolga woke up the other day, his tummy sounded like a forest full of bears and lions growling at each other.  I rested my ear on his belly and listened. It was terrifying. Tolga said he could sense that the nausea waves were moving clockwise, so he started gyrating his midsection counterclockwise “to see if it would counteract the nausea.”  (Why didn’t doctors think of that?)

My ear was still on his belly.  Imagine getting an ear massage while riding a rocking boat in a thunderstorm.  It’s beautiful.

Tolga tried to listen to MY stomach sounds, but to his disappointment he could hear nothing but a heart beat.

“It really seems like it’s down here in your stomach. Seriously.”  He kept listening, concentrating, then started speculating in whispered tones.

Him: This is better than the Mac version. This is going to become a world platform! No other media player or platform can even get close to this.  I can’t wait to show you! We’re going to be rich, rich, rich!!!

Me:  Excellent, Tolga, wonderful.  Hey, that reminds me.  Um….baby.  Did you pay the Southwest Gas bill yet?

Him: Oh.
