Breathing "Massage" for Kolya

December 13, 2011

After we played with Kolya for quite a while, they told us that it was time for his "massage." We thought that meant that it was time to go, but instead, we got to follow the lady up to a room with machines and a mask to put over his face.

The lady held it up on there for a while, and then put his mother to work. She set a little glass timer to say how long he had to stay under there.

I wanted to make the joke that this would be good practice for when he grows up a big fat American, and has to use a sleep apnea mask at night, but I didn't know how to say any of that in Russian, and it felt like one of those that only I would have found funny.
