Uh Oh Something Is Amiss

There is yelling and crying
Good.
There is screaming. 
A loud wail. Great!

Uh-oh.
Dead quiet.
I creep up, quietly
To spy on them

Knowing something is
Up. They are four, six, 
And eight, 

Only quiet when they
Are up to their most
Dastardly deeds.

She stopped in the middle of the sentence and yelled "Don't make me come up there!" There was dead silence. We high-fived each other. I was so proud; she is the kind of mother I planned to raise. Neither of us took a step toward them.
