Good Evening 🙂
This has been a trying day. I may write a post about it at a later point, when I can formulate a positive spin on it *blows raspberry*
Let’s just leave it at “I’ll be glad when it’s bedtime” 😉
I saw today’s words, in my less than calm state, and I knew it was going to be a parenting-type poem again. I don’t think I’ll be alone in the subject matter, if your kids/grandkids/siblings’ kids are anything like our two!
It did cheer me up writing it, so there’s a positive to cling to straight away 😛
Plot Collar Intelligent Route Share Advice Remove Memory Wave
It’s amusing that they never think
I’ll figure out the plot;
Like they’re some great masterminds:
Their collar never pulled.
They are intelligent, I’ll give them that,
Their route is ever-changing;
But my mum-sense always tingles
(Plus: they don’t clean up too well)
I’ve heard them point out that they meant to share,
That others sin much greater;
That youngest did the deed alone,
On no advice at all.
I’ve heard that toys remove themselves
That memory is patchy;
That wrappers can jump out of bins,
And fingerprints can lie.
But they’re still young enough, that if I say
Their nose grew, they might check it;
Their hearts are still so full of love
That mum-rage makes them sad.
So I think that maybe I can say
Society ain’t threatened;
Let them crest a wave of fibs –
Before I shut them down…
Anyone else out there dreading the day the little darlings become better at leading you up the garden path?! I admire the imagination involved, of course, but still…
What whoppers have you heard recently? Did you manage to keep a straight face while you blew them out of the water?!
Let me know in the comments…!
