and after the hospital, Target for Lego sets. And after Target, CVS for drugs.

Blue Cross Blue Shield Rhode Island call Bigfoot today. Say need apologize. Tell Bigfoot overpay on deductible, maybe pay Providence Pediatrics $82.70 twice. Very complicated book keeping information relayed by telephone, Bigfoot not able to process—while on phone, Bubs looking up with eager eyes, miming play PSP game—also Bigfoot slicing apple, also kind of uninterested this topic.

Try to end conversation. Say, “Wow, well, thanks for telling me. I guess if I owe anyone money they’ll bill me.” Representative correct Bigfoot. It that maybe Bigfoot family pay twice. Representative notice much activity on account around August 9th, can Bigfoot remember why go pediatrician after hours that day?

Pffffft. $82.70 nothing! How BCBSRI afford spend time track down information this amount when hospital bill probably a 5 digit-er. Bigfoot never become CFO. American Express bill show August 9th charges Boston Museum of Science, then later Rhode Island Hospital Au Bon Pain. Bigfoot remember everything. Go Science Museum, get diabetes. Pediatrician, ER, Hasbro hospital Au Bon Pain. Red velvet cupcake for Bubs, then vegetable soup for Bigfoot, then another vegetable soup for Bigfoot. Bigfoot even remember scratchy area on soup spoon, small cut on tongue.

Bubs feel a low in school this morning. Bigfoot happy Bubs notice. He tell teacher “I feel shaky.” Teacher call nurse. Nurse enter classroom. Number 60. Nurse telephone Bigfoot when it over. Later Bigfoot remember idiot move: Bubs pour entire glass of milk on oatmeal today. Swamp it. After eat oats, milk remain in bowl. Bigfoot subtract carbs for left-behind milk but not sharp enough think: there’s maple syrup in that milk, you’d better subtract for that too.

Every parent child with diabetes wish could have diabetes in place of child. This especially so Bigfoot case not just because Bigfoot so so kind but also because Bigfoot total food control freak, probably excellent diabetes patient. Also look at swish belt hold insulin pump. Bigfoot like one in center photo, large polka dot. Maybe get for iPod.  Now look how sad same product for boy. There no way make accessory for boy look good. It impossible. (Sorry fan of Pixar Cars.) Bubs not have pump yet anyway. Hope not have to resort fanny pack.
