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.
