My Angel Is a Darling

I was startled, amazed, astonished, in shock.
At the defiant little girl, door refused to unlock.
It was her eighteenth infraction, a serious offense.
Her mother was called four times, things were a bit tense.

Her mother arrived, with excuses galore.
Little girl hit her mother eight times as she was dragged out the door.
She’s a darling! Her mother was yelling and shrieking.
What has happened to her? No telling, I thought, without window peeking.

P.S. Awtry Date: 8/29/2019 3:41:00 AM love that first line...it just clicks along and sets the mood perfectly :) Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 8/29/2019 7:45:00 AM Thank you. Have seen this. It's not as upbeat when it actually happens.

Sandra Adams Date: 8/28/2019 7:58:00 PM the parents never think their children could do what they are being accused of, i say thank God for all the security cameras in place these days...good write :) Login to Reply Sandra Adams Date: 8/29/2019 9:33:00 AM wow...that was probably something to witness...and i am sure she still didn't see how you didn't see the angel in her little girl? I once had a kindergartner who was kicked out of several day cares, mom was always arranging me to stop at different places and she didn't know why her angel was being turned away....maybe attempting to stab your teachers with scissors was a bad choice...not in mom's eyes, her daughter must have been provoked...
