Andrew–I'm laughing so hard, milk would come out my nose if I was drinking it…Wonderful!!
My favorite part is "Don't lick your brother's nose." I guess there is no way to develop a rule against that until it has happened.;-) I was blessed, having only two kids who got along well. They were four and a half years apart, which helped.
This brings back so many memories of talking to my friends when our children where little and even still! We could never have a full conversation on both sides! So cute and hilarious! Love it!
What fun. I love poems like that that draw from the chaos of everyday life. I like the balancing act of layered talk, can't quite call it conversation.
Anne Tyler for a shower alone.
I laughed out loud – awesome write, so true to life… & who would have thought the subject matter would lend itself so easily to the sonnet form? Well done!
This is it exactly! Wonderful write!
That part made me do a double take, and made me chuckle doubly hard.. wonderful way to cheer up, no doubt….
Oh, my. This reminds me of a few people. Very realistic.
