ADAM GLOSSNER HAD to work hard to conceal his smile, sitting on
the edge of his three-year-old son’s tiny bed. The little boy giggled as he
squeezed the doll again. A shaky, recorded voice said, “Oh, geez. C’mon,
Rick.”
Brooke, Glossner’s six-year-old daughter, snickered from the other bed.
Glossner said, “Are you sure you’ve never watched Rick and Morty?”
The little boy kept smiling and shook his head.
“How did Grandpa know you’d like this Morty doll?”
Jeremy shrugged his little shoulders and kept the huge grin on his face.
From the other bed, Brooke said, “Grandpa is smart. He said that’s why me
and Jeremy are smart. It skips a generation.”
Glossner couldn’t keep from laughing out loud at that. His father often
threatened to buy the kids a drum set if he didn’t get to see them enough.
All Glossner could do now was hug his son and do the little ritual where he
tucked the blankets tightly around him. Jeremy was an amazingly still
sleeper. Glossner would often find him in the same position in the morning.
The boy looked like a tiny mummy.
He stepped over to his daughter’s bed and leaned down to give her a
kiss.
Brooke said, “Daddy, can we go to the LEGO store soon?”
“Sure. What’s my engineer need this time?”
“They have a new Star Wars collection. I just need one more TIE
fighter.”
“Wow. When did you guys go full science fiction on me?”
Brooke smiled and said, “We’re not from the olden days. We grew up
this way.”
Glossner snorted. “Six whole years of growing up. Nothing like the dark
ages I had to live through.” He kissed his daughter on the forehead. “Once
upon a time, I had to watch the commercials during Giants games. No fastforwarding and no pausing either.”
“Really? All the commercials?”
“Yep.”
Glossner slipped out of the bedroom and down the hallway. His wife,
Victoria, stepped out of their bedroom suite. She still could walk a runway
as a model but looked like she was going out for a jog, in shorts and a Tshirt. She liked to sleep in the same clothes she intended to work out in the
next morning.
“I love how Brooke lets Jeremy sleep in her room,” Glossner said. “It’ll
be helpful when more siblings arrive.”
His wife said, “You better not expect too many more kids. I’ll be too old
before you have the volleyball team you want.”
He chuckled as he leaned down and kissed her on the cheek. “We’ve got
plenty of time. Want to come out on the balcony with me?”
Victoria shook her head. “I have to give my sister a call, then I’m down
for the count.” As she turned to walk past him, she gave him a swat on the
butt. “Not bad for a guy who doesn’t have time to work out.”
A couple of minutes later, Adam Glossner stood on his third-floor
balcony, gazing out at the park in front of his apartment and the Hudson
River beyond it.
