Yabber Yabber Yabber

yabber yabber yabber
I am only half listening
brig brig brig
listening less now
She is nine
Does not notice
It is all about how many words she can speak.
She is not good at reading people's expressions
I look up, relieved,
that she has not stopped
and she still feels validated
Which is borderline ridiculous 
if you know people at all

Hmmm...this is a common practice of nine-year-old girls, isn't it, Caren? I always call them "Chatty Cathies."

Some are this way others almost refuse to speak.

I never want them to feel slighted, so pay closer to some than others.
