I passed the baby Jesus to you in
a box. You stared at me for a moment and
then unexpectedly flinched and threw him back.
That wasn’t in the script or risk assessment.
Thankfully I caught him; he was fine.
The services at our local nursing home always have an element of unpredictability to them, keeping us on our toes.
