The villageExperimenting

If today isn't the day for this one, turn the page — it will wait.

Who do you find yourself wishing could have met this baby?

Why this question

Write about them in the present tense of your memory: what they'd have said, the face they'd have made, which of their jokes the baby would one day have learned.

Where it leads

Writing them into the record is its own kind of introduction. What would you want this child to know about them?

More from The village

This question lives in the Save These Days app as a one-minute voice prompt — answerable one-handed, while the baby sleeps on you, kept on your own device.
