Overheard - the Sound of Silence


One of those times when NOT hearing things sends chills down a mother's spine ...

Mom: LittleD? Snack time!

no answer, no LittleD.

Mom: LittleD! Cookies!

no answer, no LittleD.

Mom: (walking around the house looking for LittleD) LittleD? Did you want a cookie?

hears tapping from the front bathroom ...

finds LittleD with a toy bowl and toy spoon, both full of water, set on the toilet as a table. LittleD is about to cheerfully spoon what can only be toilet water into his mouth. Mom decides to tell herself that this was the *first* spoonful and was intercepted in time. Please don't try to tell her otherwise.
