If Only...

My kids were outside playing this morning. They had chosen some very loud and obnoxious game to play, and I asked hubby if we should ask them to play something else or just let them yell and be loud since, afterall, they were outside and it was almost 11:00. "Yeah, just let them," he says.

A few minutes later my son comes tearing into the house, through the living room, and into the bathroom all the while screeching out his Annoying Noise of the Day at an ear-splitting decibel level. I inform him he needs to keep his obnoxious noises outside to which he replies, "I can't. I'm afraid they might get lost." Oh, if only that were possible, my smart aleck boy.
