Three’s a lot of kids.
How will you take care of them?
Very carefully.
That toy is broken.
Wait for your Dad to get home.
Let’s do quiet time.
How do you know that?
Because I just do; okay?
Fine, we’ll Google it.
What’s that I’m smelling?
Liquid, solid, gas, other?
I don’t want to know.
So how was your day?
I’m covered in who-knows-what,
But we’re still alive.
Play date at the park.
Sunscreen, hats, snacks, and small talk.
This isn’t too bad.
I don't know you, but
My kid likes to play with yours.
Let’s all be friends.
Hold that sweet baby.
They’ll grow right out of your arms.
It will be too soon.
Don’t forget yourself.
You will want her back some day.
Make sure she’s still there.
Kindness and patience.
It’s not much; but all you need
To raise good people.
