Imperfect Trinities

I have two adulterish children with ADHD and some disconcerting levels of unemployable diversity. They go through each day with three parts harmony: I want this, I want that, and then I want this Other Thing. In this they remind me of me more than not: I want food, I want drink, I want either sex, or more likely a toilet, or most likely just a nap, but not really all resttime three. That would be way too messy to prefer as a rule for a perfect trinity. And so we march on through our not so diverse rounds of hyperactivity I want this then want that then these Other feeding and bleeding restorative Things.
