Madness envelopes me with the nonstop creations from the nieces all around me - what can I say except that they drive me mad and practically insane. Every day is such a revelation with the nonsense that they sprout. There are times when they claim that I am the originator of such craziness. Now can anyone vouch for this, except them?
Sometime ago we decided to put the funnies to work and started a silly dance step that brought on the giggles like nothing anyone had ever heard before. In fact, the animals (cats and dogs) from the neighboring houses added to the noise and before we knew it a tempo established itself. I’m sure there was a new quickstep in the making - humans and animals alike! What can I say except that the kids are a nutty lot and every minute with them makes the peppery white on the mop disappear!
They even add fuel to the fire which was apparent with the cheekiness displayed the other day. The not so little one tells the other one who is growing taller by the second that aunts will come and go but cousins will be there forever! I was a part of the group and I was really dismayed. But I got back at the rascals in due course when they came over to enquire about the meal for the day….
“What’s for dinner?”
“What’s for lunch?”
What… What… What
The cheekiness or rather the grown up banter from my side really got them irritated and then some because they went straight to the kitchen and opened all the lids to take a peek.
“Now that isn’t for today!” I let on.
And then with eyes that could tame a lion they brought on the soulful charm.
You guessed it. I suckered out and they have me on call 24x7.
And they say aunts will come and go……
Xoxo me dahlings!
