Hey, I'm having a Duh! moment, was that you who had lost her sense of humor???

The heart of a harpist, in the setting you described??? And outnumbered?

That wasn't a loss of humor, that was abuse of something rare and sweet. Amazing, you are, to keep that heart open at all. Madam, I salute.

And on HearMe-- just let us hear her lovely tone. Babies don't have to recite long poems ya know. Baby talk, first.
