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.

Caren, I read your comment to victor. I believe in that motherly radar. LOL

And the fatherly radar too if you are lucky enough to have them for the day, right Charles?

Ya gotta be a kid, when you're that age. Good one.

One time I heard screaming and yelling above my head. I was talking to my daughter at the time. 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.

more ahead; I've come, sometimes I feel something is missing; o the world, on your boat I miss something subconsciously.........

I doubt you miss much, actually, Mahtab.
