a journal in short bursts that might occasionally even rhyme |
An after-party how lovely at a local restaurant you say oh what a shame! we will not be able to make it the children you see a babysitter? do you remember honey what happened the last time we tried that if it were not so alarming it would be funny thank you for the invitation we could not possibly the children you see oh nothing like that we would give them away I am sure but who would take them? they cannot be left unsupervised more than twenty three minutes at a time or they get into serious trouble oddly specific is it not? please believe that is not a number we came up with ourselves it sounds like our older son who is a prodigy you know a real whiz with the math he claims they get bored very easily because it is hard being too smart for their own good that they are scientists upending the world in order to understand it we have tried explaining that exploring and exploding are two different words but then he got so mad I know honey I am rattling on about things no one needs to hear it is just so nice sometimes to talk to another adult you know one that might understand even a little bit but yes you are right we should get going at any rate thank you again this was lovely we should do this again sometime oh excuse me please put that down sweetie you will hurt some- |
