I really have lost the plot

Thursday night, Werner sat with Jakob on the bed and read to him. Jakob dropped his soother on the floor, so I washed it up.

On my return, I held it out to a mouth, expecting it to eagerly pop open to accept the soother.

Instead, I heard, "Um, Sweetie?"

I took the soother away from Werner's mouth and handed it to Jakob.

Then I realised what had happened, and laughed for the next half hour.

Oy, I really am in trouble here...
