“Because I said So!” #1linerwednesday
Beautiful post on parenting from “tropicalaffair”. Enjoy.
A mother’s language is universal.
“But why can’t we go swimming with the Wood ducklings? They get to have all the fun.”
“Why do we have to listen to her? We can just go when she isn’t looking. Should we bring Teenie?”
“No way! She’s our decoy! On the count of three we go for it. Thanks Teenie!”
Mothers need eyes in back of their heads. (I know I have mine. It costs a fortune for glasses) And a word to all young mothers who have decided to let their children rule the household without any direction. There really are times when you don’t owe them any explanations. You may just save a life, or at least a few more gray hairs from popping out.
“Because I said so!”
This post is for Linda Hill’s #1linerwednesday prompt. Do visit her page and join the fun!

One is gone
Other three are feeling
A little forlorn Continue reading “Wisdom Lost”
Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow
Yesterday is memory
Tomorrow is a dream
Today is what we have
Here and now
Act, or
Get ready
For a lifelong of
Frustration and scream
Play Own Part
Silence is the reward
For not speaking up
When it mattered Continue reading “Play Own Part”

Ember & Flame
Dying embers glow
Love left premises long ago
Old flame flew the coop
