Lead

One day the child picks up a parent's phone and turns it toward themselves. Check the saved folder: the ceiling, the floor, their own feet, a friend's face, the back of a parent's head. The tone of the record has suddenly changed.

This is not contamination of the album. It may be the first declaration that a child is trying to become a maker of records, not just a subject of them.
