Interruptus

rushed into action
ringing in our ears— Oh dear!
reactionary
reapplication of clothes
our rearing of kids over?

Our phone rings so rarely, we forget what the sound is. Our children all text now. So this made sense for me

Sometimes they need to be reared again because of the mistakes they are making. For some they don't see where they are making mistakes until their life is nearly over. I enjoyed reading this one. Reads like a good contender to me if it is for a contest. Thanks for the honor of placing in your contest and for the nice comment on my work. Sara
